Power supply was interrupted yesterday evening at about 6.40pm.
The workers from Samwu burned tyres in front of the municipal building in Mbonani Mayisela Street yesterday morning as well.
Dissatisfaction with salaries lies at the root of the problem.
According to the DA’s PR-councillor, Ms Sithi Silosini, the substations were not properly managed yesterday according to the load reduction schedule.
Ms Silosini said Eskom will only help the municipality the following day as indicated in a letter.
The notified maximum demand of 55MVA was exceeded. Water supply furthermore is also affected.
