Tshwane works to restore power after prolonged outage in Pretoria CBD

The City of Tshwane has assured residents affected by the prolonged power outage in parts of the Pretoria CBD and surrounds that it's working to address the issue. 

Some residents and businesses have been in the dark for 4 days. 

The metro said this is due to theft and vandalism. 

Spokesperson Lindela Masgigo said its specialised task teams are in the final stages of restoration.

"Despite this progress, some areas in the Pretoria CBD, Kgosi Mampuru ii correctional centre, Pretoria West industrial and surrounding communities remain without electricity following the theft and vandalism of key components along Struben Street near Cowie Street.
