POLOKWANE – Polokwane Extension 73 and Madiba Park are since this morning experiencing power outage due to a cable fault at the Seshego Hospital substation.
According to municipal spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene the municipality is providing temporary relief in Madiba Park through backup generators. The areas receives power through underground cables connected to mini-substations, so we have connected about three (3) generators to the mini-substations says Chuene.
