Residents of Bertram, Kensington, Fairview, Malvern, Troyville and surrounding areas, woke up without electricity supply on Monday morning, the 17th February 2025.
About 2,600 calls were logged into City Power’s system on Monday.
Most calls were logged from the Inner City, where two lines from Sebenza tripped in the early hours of Monday morning.
City Power’s Isaac Mangena said “we have managed to restore line 1 and the team is currently inspecting line 2, to determine the cause of the trip.”
He also said the power utility’s operations are impacted by heavy rainfall that has flooded some roads and damaged electricity infrastructure in parts of Johannesburg.
