24 February 2025 (11:05) City attending to electricity area faults - load-shedding increases risk of faults* Eskom's active high-stage load-shedding typically leads to increased electrical faults. It also impacts service turnaround times as the same maintenance teams work on load-shedding requirements. Please switch off all non-essential electrical equipment to lower usage and reduce the risk of tripping. Unplug inverters before power comes back on to avoid tripping and longer outages. We apologise for the inconvenience while our teams attend to electricity area faults (outages impacting entire streets and surrounds or whole or parts of neighbourhoods), primarily caused by damage from theft, vandalism and illegal connections. The safety situation in an area also impacts repair work and restoration times as law enforcement escorts may be required. #ctinfo
