POLOKWANE – According to a statement issued by the Polokwane Municipality: “The maintenance to the Zone 3 substation is due to infrastructure and network maintenance to be undertaken on the overhead line conductors. The purpose of the maintenance is to avoid concurrent power outages in Zone 3 after experiencing rain. This network maintenance will ensure the infrastructure is made reliable during rain seasons and as a result the area will no longer experience power outages.”
