Electricity gradually being restored to parts of Centurion affected by power outage

JOHANNESBURG - There's finally some relief for parts of Centurion that have been without electricity for nearly two weeks, as power is gradually being restored to some of the affected areas.

Earlier in April, an explosion at the Brakfontein substation left several Centurion communities in the dark.

The impacted areas include Rooihuiskraal, Heuweloord, Monavoni, Amberfield, Eldoraigne, Celtisdal, and parts of Wierdapark.

Utilities MMC in Tshwane Frans Boshielo said electricity supply to these communities will be restored in phases.

“I wish to announce that power is being restored to the following areas: Rooihuiskraal North, Amberfield 1 and 2. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of the technicians. Thank you for your patience during this time.”
