The loss of Majuba Power Station in Mpumalanga has caused a dire electricity shortage in Joburg. Roodepoort North, like most parts of the city, has also been affected. (see previous article)
Residents are urged to use electricity sparingly and also to unplug all appliances during the power outages in order to avoid severe power surges which can damage appliances as soon as power is reinstated. Businesses are encouraged to make back-up plans, especially those dealing in consumables.
As per the City Power load shedding schedule released on 1 November, the following Roodepoort North areas are set to be without power most of this week and weekend:
Block 2 – Honeydew Ext 5 – Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday: 6am to 10am.
