Four-hour power rotations are being implemented in the Bonteheuwel, Langa and Thornton areas as the City of Cape Town’s energy teams work to restore electricity.

According to the municipality some areas which had their power restored yesterday will have to be placed on these rotations today as it’s critical for the full restoration to take place which is expected by this evening.

Energy teams have been carrying out excavations and major cable repairs around the clock so that electricity supply can return to Langa, Pinelands, Ndabeni, Epping, and Bonteheuwel.

These areas have been advised to switch off non-essential energy equipment, heaters, pool pumps, and geysers. It aids in reducing system overload or tripping.
