The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Electricity and Energy Directorate said while busy with repairs in KwanoBuhle, in Gqeberha, in the Eastern Cape, an underground cable buried at a significant depth with water exposure complicated repairs.
This has led to a fault and loss of power to main streets, including Rixana Street, Yolana Street, Ngaphi Street, Ponana Street and Ntsali Street.
Power is expected to be restored on Tuesday evening.
