Parts of Qwaqwa in the eastern Free State have been in the dark for two weeks.

This after the substation circuit breaker gave in leaving many households and businesses without electricity.

Maluti-A-Phofung municipal spokesperson Thabo Kessah says they have resorted to providing Eskom with the circuit breaker to speed up the repairs and facilitate the restoration of power to the affected areas. “Maluti-A-Phofung Local municipality can confirm that Eskom has committed to through their lawyers that they would repair and restore power at the Witsieshoek substation next to the University of Free State, Qwaqwa campus. This after the municipality lost an urgent application to compel Eskom to restore power to thousands of affected households, businesses, since the 18 December 2022. They have committed to this for the next four to five days.

Uyabuya ubuyile ne loadshedding

Very very soon. The whole country will be without power for 10 days, then three weeks then three months

That is Guptas' place. Ask Ace Magashule about power there

Good people of the ANC those one's ✌🏾

It's actually way more than two weeks, did you interview any resident before coming up with the story?

Most parts of South Africa experience exactly the same with 4 to 8 hours of loadashetting. What is the difference

Re tsamaya le Ramaphosa, re morata ka ofela. That's what they said

We have no sympathy with domkops who keeps on voting for ANC just because they get social grants,fokof

Potholes and sewage too are daily living norm. They voted ANC and ignored local forums who were helping them through donations, serves them right.

Crazy.
