The reason for the outage is that a fire broke out at the Town Substation just after midnight.
One resident reported that they only heard a “pop” sound, and then the power went out.
The fire was extinguished, but the damage and how long it will take to repair could not yet be determined.
The residential areas without power include:
CW 1,2,3,5,6
NW7
Bonané
Stephano Park
Parts of Boipatong and surrounding smallholdings.
