Ismail Sha studies with a rechargeable lantern for his final examination during one of the frequent power outages, called load-shedding, from South Africa's struggling power utility Eskom, because of ageing coal-fired power stations, in Cape Town, South Africa, October 25, 2022.
City Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda says there was a power failure due to a lightning strike at the Eldorado Park substation resulting in many areas being plunged into darkness. Gwamanda says the power cut also affected the Eikenhof water pump station which supplies water to reservoirs across the city. He says, “At this point, we are waiting for a report from Joburg Water to give us a clear indication as to how it has affected the water supply. We will give you an update first thing in the morning on the duration in which potential disruptions may occur.”
“At this point, we would like to ask that you bear with us on these difficult times. We are committed to ensuring that whatever disruption we encounter, we rush and restore it speedily.” Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies.
