POLOKWANE – A power failure at the Olifantspoort Plant has resulted in no water being pumped to Polokwane supply areas.

The Polokwane Municipality issued a statement to confirm this. According to the municipality’s Spokesperson, Thipa Selala, Lepelle Northern Water (LNW) has reported this matter to Eskom for urgent attention.
