Many suburbs in Germiston have been plagued by long term power outages over the past two days.
In a statement on their Facebook page the metro has claimed that the power failures have lead to an emergency shut down at the main Germiston sub-station.
No reason was given for the early power failures.
The areas affected by the outage include, but are not limited to:
- Airport Park
- Rand Airport
- Denlee
- Elandshaven
- Parts of Lambton
- Parkhill Gardens
- Wadville
- Tedstoneville
- Germiston CBD
- Elsburg
The metro estimates that power will be restored to the affected areas by 5pm today (Friday).
More updates to follow as information becomes available.
