City to address backlog of power outages in Centurion
The City of Tshwane has received complaints in respect of area and individual power outages in various suburbs in Centurion since last Friday, 13 January 2017. These outages are a result of short-term loss of power in the electricity network.
Due to the increase in logged complaints, the City’s Electricity Department has established teams in other zones to assist with clearing the backlog.
The backlog is also compounded by a go-slow in the Electricity Department in Region 4. The City’s management is engaged in efforts to resolve the industrial action.
The City apologises for any inconvenience caused by this and promises to address the backlog speedily through the established contingency teams.
To this end we urge residents not to undermine their plight with unlawful actions and to appreciate that our dilapidated infrastructure is a legacy and we will do our level best to deal with the situation and inform our residents of our efforts.
