Work is underway to secure electricity infrastructure damaged by gale force winds over the weekend in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM).
Babalwa Lobishe, The NMBM Acting Executive Mayor, took the Minister of Electricity and Energy, Dr Kgosientsho Ramakgopa and key stakeholders, to the site in Sardinia Bay, on Wednesday afternoon.
The contractor has successfully planted and assembled all 52 required wooden poles.
The NMBM and Eskom teams started the reconductor stringing and installation of stay wires to enhance the stability of the structures and high-voltage lines.
But unfavourable weather conditions, expected to end on Thursday, are hampering construction work.
