A number of areas in the city which include Randburg, Fairlands, Roodepoort, Lenasia, Reefhaven and Hursthill have been hit by prolonged power outages.
The City has asked Eskom to consider exempting Joburg from loadshedding for a few days to allow City Power to catch up on fixing the outages.Technicians say they have their hands full: “We are not out of the woods yet, we still have a high number of calls from around the city. We are hovering around 4000 outage calls, even from this morning with half from the last 24 hours. Damage to local infrastructure has been huge. We have still transformers and substations that are still under water.
Meanwhile, Johannesburg’s City Power says they have been inundated with reports of outages from across the city as a result of the flooding, which is compounded by the higher stages of loadshedding.City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena says they have beefed up the teams in the pressure areas: “More rains are predicted for the coming days, It will really get worse before it gets better. We are not operating under normal circumstances currently and we have recalled all our teams to return to duty.
