Eskom said customers in the affected areas would have no power as officials replaced rotten poles which carry medium voltage powerlines.
Power utility Eskom has announced planned 10-hour outages in Soweto and the Braamfischerville area from Tuesday until Thursday. The outages will take place from 8am until 6pm.
“Eskom will be replacing rotten poles that carry the medium voltage powerlines as part of its maintenance programme,” said Eskom in a notice. “Eskom would like to thank you for your cooperation and apologises for any inconvenience that may be caused by this maintenance,” the power utility said. Eskom said the ongoing improvement in power performance was due to the generation fleet's recovery plan, accelerated maintenance, collaboration with original equipment manufacturers , and the dedication of power station managers and their teams.
