The City of Cape Town today said it was working on restoring power supply to the Central Business District electricity cables which were heavily damaged.

The city centre was without power for almost two hours after building contractors damaged cables in Wale Street.

The city of Cape Town’s electricity service Charles Cooper says the city was informed that a contractor hit electrical cables in the corner of Wale and Bree Street and power went out at approximately 9h15 today.

The City of Cape Town's Electricity Department has rerouted the electricity supply, while repairs to the cable are underway. Power was restored at approximately 10:50, says Cooper.

“The power cut has been restored and that everything is back to normal.”
