Cape Town attends to electricity service requests in various areas
The City of Cape Town teams are attending to electricity service requests in various areas.
This follows electricity cuts caused by bad weather,
loadshedding and secondary tripping.

Hanover Park, Samora Machel and Heideveld.
The city says teams are attending to all faults and are
unable to give the estimated time of power restoration.
‘There are a number of areas across the metro which are
currently experiencing unplanned outages. Our teams are attending to these and
we thank our customers for their understanding.
‘Customers should please bear in mind that storms can cause
area outages, which take longer to resolve. These are especially caused by
trees and shrubs growing into electricity infrastructure. Added to this,
Covid-19 continues to have an impact on operations. City teams will continue to
do everything in their power to attend to outages in the shortest possible
time. It is often not possible to give an exact time for restoration where
damage to infrastructure is involved and where an outage affects a large area,’
said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Energy and Climate Change,
Councillor Phindile Maxiti.
The city encourages residents to report electricity outage
faults in their areas.
