*City working to restore electricity to southern areas*

* *

The City of Cape Town’s Electricity Services section is working to restore
power to a large area in the city’s southern suburbs which has been
affected by a power failure. The cause of the outage is unknown at this
stage, but the City confirms that there has been an electrical failure on
its network.



The following areas have reported electricity disruptions: the greater
Athlone area including Heideveld, Bonteheuwel, and up until Epping and
surrounds, as well as Thornton, Langa, Belgravia, Crawford, Rondebosch
East, and the Vanguard Drive area towards Newlands, Mowbray, Observatory,
the outskirts of Woodstock, Paarden Eiland, and Maitland – as well as many
surrounding areas.



The City is unfortunately not able to predict how long the outage will last
until it has determined the cause and extent of the damage.



The City’s Call Centre has experienced a very high volume of calls as a
result of the outage. The City is aware of the problem and will release
updates as and when they are available.
