REMINDER 📌
Please be reminded of a planned power interruption at Sebenza Substation, scheduled for 12 April 2026, from 08h00 until 16h00. ^NT

@CityPowerJhb What did you fix when the entire substation blew a few years ago!! Seems as though its a botch job worse than what was.. surely replacing the burnt substation would have measures to prevent all these pathetic reasons for us not having power. Its 2026! Not 1888!

#InnerCitySDC #CityPowerUpdates
*Observatory Substation:* Preliminary findings indicate that the outage was caused by an excessive amount of moisture in the equipment, which led to a flashover.
The team is currently onsite carrying out repairs, including the installation of copper connectors, while the dry-ice team continues to clean smoke residue from the panels to facilitate safe restoration.
The outage continues to affect customers in Kensington, Observatory, Bezuidenhout Valley (Bez-Valley), Bruma, Cyrildene, Dewetshof, and surrounding areas.
At this stage, there is no estimated time of restoration (ETR), as work is still underway.
Further updates will be communicated as progress continues onsite.
