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 within Centurion since last Friday January 13, 2017. These blackouts are as a result of short-term loss of power in the electricity network.
In observing the increase in the logged complaints the City’s Electricity department has established teams from other zones to assist with the backlog.
Moreover, the experienced backlog is also compounded by a go-slow in Region 4 Electricity department. The City’s management is engaged in efforts to resolve the industrial action.
The City apologises for any inconvenience caused and promises to address the backlog speedily through the established contingency teams.
To this end we urge residents to not undermine their plight with unlawful actions and to appreciate that this dilapidated infrastructure is a legacy and we will do our level best to deal with the situation and communicate thusly with our residents.
