Randgate — Multiple areas are left without electricity following a thunderstorm on Sunday night (February 2).
According to ward councillor Alwyn van Tonder, the thunderstorm tripped a transformer located at the Market Street Substation. He added the electrical team managed to switch the power on in areas such as Bootha, Loumarina and Elandsvlei AH.
