Power restored in parts of town after vandalism
Power was restored to the affected areas and a new substation was installed.
Parts of town were left without power for an extended period after two mini substations were targeted and vandalised by syndicates during load-shedding recently.
The Rand West City Local Municipality (RWCLM) has since released a statement on Wednesday, May 17 confirming that the electricity supply to certain areas was disrupted as a result.
RWCLM spokesperson Phillip Montshiwa stated that the municipality worked tirelessly on restoring power to the affected areas.
“Two miniature substations have since been acquired and installed.”
He added that the power has already been restored.
“The municipality also urges the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity in the area.”
They apologise for any inconvenience caused.
