Media statement 25 April 2024
Cllr Themba Fosi
MMC for Utilities and Regional Operations and Coordination
The City of Tshwane is pleased to inform our residents and stakeholders that our technical teams have made good progress in restoring power to affected communities following the recent fire incident at Mooikloof Substation.
Power supply has been restored in the following areas: Mooikloof Estate, Parkview Shopping Complex, Woodlands Mall, Woodhill, The Wilds, Pretoriuspark extensions, a portion of Moreletapark and MK Rural Line.
Power was also restored in Mooikloof Ridge Estate temporarily but went off due to an isolated open circuit cable from Panel C12 to RMU Augrabies (Stand 26), which has impacted the area. Our team is actively addressing this issue. An investigation is ongoing after tripping during the switchback at the Onbekend Rural Lines. The power supply remains off at Boardwalk and Olympus with investigations ongoing.
We are pleased to announce that our technical teams are working diligently to address some of the remaining issues while most of the repairs have been completed.
The City acknowledges the inconvenience caused by this incident and expresses gratitude for the patience and cooperation of residents and businesses during the restoration process.
We assure residents and stakeholders that every effort is being made to expedite the resolution of the remaining issues. We will continue to provide updates as the restoration process progresses.
