ALBERTON -The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality’s engineers are working around the clock to restore the Alberton Power Supply at least by 19:00 this evening.
Parts of Alberton including Redruth, half Alberton North, Hillcrest, Alberton CBD and surrounding areas, Florentia Park, Verwoerd Park, New Redruth, and South Crest were without power yesterday and some got affected this morning, following an attempted theft on one of the three transformers at the Truida Substation.
All repairs, testing and cleaning has been completed. The power is currently being energized and expected to be back in some areas soon, and the whole affected area will eventually be back by 19:00 due to possible geyser load.
“We wish to assure residents that our maintenance schedule is up to date and the Truida substation is generally in a good condition because last year we have overhauled the substation and brought it back to new life,” Metro’s spokesperson, Themba Gadebe.
The municipality apologizes for the inconvenience.
I am so sick and tired of stories. Whe pay mad prices for service delivery and whe recieve none. Thank you Jakob Zuma. This country has gone to the dogs.

Excuse after excuse but what sir about our spoilt food and children with homework and we woUld like to bath. … Need i say more. Is this what we get for voting for you. ?? Enough is enough. We have basic human rights and living of ur prepaid meters with no power supply. ?? Really !!!!
It is 08:00pm and South Crest is still without power. Would not have put any money on it being restored by 7pm anyway. Same as last time just keep telling them it will be on in an hour to get them off our backs.
