SEBOKENG.- Most parts of Sebokeng had been without electricity for almost two weeks after the Seboka Substation was vandalised three weeks ago.
Electricity supply was partially restored to Sebokeng Zones 3, 6, 7 and 10 and efforts were made, and power was restored to most zones that were still without supply, by Monday.
The shutdown of the substation was implemented to protect the transformer from further damage or catching fire which could cause an explosion since the control room had been vandalised, panel wiring and protection cables were cut, which created a major risk to the transformer as its protection was compromised.
