The City of Cape Town, who invested R800 million in electricity infrastructure between July and October, says the high levels of loadshedding areThe City explains that the investments went towards repairs, maintenance and critical upgrades in attempts to provide a reliable electricity supply for Capetonians.
“The damage caused leads to prolonged outages after load shedding and high volumes of service requests,” she continues. For example, more than 100 sewer pump stations in Cape Town need generators to deal with loadshedding and prevent sewage overflows, which will cost the City almost R200 million.With 116 of 487 sewer pump stations deemed to require generators, the City could either face sewage overflows without them or have to pay R197 million on top of civil requirements, professional services provider input, fuel costs and maintenance for the generators.
Last week, Bredell said that the provincial Disaster Management Centre, who monitors critical infrastructure, is ready to handle high loadshedding levels over the festive season.
Not only the infrastructure of Cape Town but many cities and towns in South Africa. This will continue until loadshedding is stopped or households move off the grid. In my view we are already experiencing a disaster!! Dark days and nights ahead for SA.
