Rotational load-shedding to continue in Seshego due to faulty transformer

The municipality said they are hopeful that the transformer will be fixed soon as the maintenance team is busy with repairs.

POLOKWANE – The Polokwane Municipality said it is doing everything in its power to ensure that normal power supply is restored to all affected areas in Seshego.

Rotational load-shedding in addition to national load-shedding had to be implemented in Seshego this week due to power challenges caused by a faulty transformer.

Municipal spokesperson Thipa Selala said the rotational load-shedding was due to power to affected areas having to be supplied from another transformer which could not cater to all areas at once.

“The municipality is hopeful that the transformer will be fixed soon as the maintenance team is busy. While repairs are underway, temporary load-shedding will continue today until the transformer is up and running,” he said.

The schedule is as follows:

Selala said the Hospital Substation supplies the Circle Centre, Extension 73, Hospital View, Luthuli Park, Madiba Park, part of Zone 2, Seshego Hospital and part of Zone 1 while the Zone 8
Substation feeds part of Zone 1, Zones 1 Extension, 4, 5, 7, and 8 and the Seshego Police Station.
