10-hour power outage set to affect parts of Tshwane on Monday
The City of Tshwane has announced scheduled electricity repair work for Monday, 26 May. Two major maintenance operations will disrupt the power supply in various areas. The City's Energy and Electricity Department, working with TCT Civil and Construction Company, will repair the Waltloo/Njala power lines between Tower 58 and Tower 59. The work, which includes stringing power lines across Bronkhorstspruit Road (R104), will start at 7:00 and is expected to conclude by 17:00. The 10-hour outage will affect Mooiplaas plots and business amenities, Willow Brae, and Willow Park. City officials have urged road users, including motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, to exercise extra caution near the construction zone. 'Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians using the Bronkhorstspruit Road (R104) are urged to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings in this area during the period of the repair work,' the city stated. In Hatfield, another power outage will occur due to repairs at a mini substation on the Agricultural Research Council premises. Between 8:00 and 16:00, technicians will replace a damaged switching component, affecting multiple streets and facilities. Areas impacted include Burnett, Duncan, Grosvenor, Park streets, the Agricultural Research Council, and Iparioli Business Park.
