Parts of Zululand region remain without electricity
Following Tuesday's severe weather across KZN, which led to a widespread power outage, Eskom technicians continue to work diligently to repair the damage.
According to Eskom's KZN industry support and stakeholder management Stefanie Jansen van Rensburg, while some areas have been restored, the persistent weather conditions, as well as the extent of the damage coupled with access challenges, have hampered restoration efforts.
