Centurion residents might still be without power until midnight tonight.
Councillor Ina Strijdom said the Tshwane metro has been working throughout the night to restore power in affected areas such as Brakfontein, Rooihuiskraal, Amberfield, The Reeds, Noordwes, Thatchfield and Wierdapark.
“The metro is still working on the problem and they hope the power will be restored by midnight tonight. If not then, hopefully by Tuesday morning,” she said.
Centurion residents were without power since Sunday morning due to cable theft and vandalism at the Brakfontein substation recently. The metro is currently assessing the full extent of the theft and vandalism.
Strijdom urged residents to switch off all non-essential appliances starting with the geyser.
Selby Bokaba, spokesperson for the metro, said residents are urged to report power failures. SMS the word POWER followed by your account number to 082-612-0333. Or report a power failure to 012-35- 9999, choosing the electricity option or 080-111-556.
Rekord will endeavour to keep Centurion residents posted on the power outage situation.
