City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena said that they had increased resources to ensure power outages were resolved.

The utility said that its teams were still working on the substations providing electricity to Tshepisong and Motholeville. Most of the power outages lasted for over 24 hours, leaving residents without power outside their scheduled load shedding. "Including Christiaan de Wet, around Jim Fouché, it has been restored.
