POLOKWANE – According to the Polokwane Municipality, the planned maintenance will take place tomorrow, 20 June 2018.

POLOKWANE – According to a statement released by the municipality, Lepelle Northern Water will shut the plant down on Thursday, 14 June, for repairs and the installation of new switchgears at the Olifantspoort Plant
Residents should take note that the shut off is scheduled to take place from 07h00 until 19h00 and the estimated time to complete repairs will take 14 hours.
