'We have communicated with the City of Tshwane but there is no guarantee that the lights will be on during the game on Wednesday.'
The embattled power utility plunged the nation into uncertainty after implementing rotational power cuts over the last few days‚ which reached an unprecedented stage 6 on Monday‚ and Loftus operations manager Hugo Kemp conceded to TimesLIVE that they cannot guarantee that the game will not be affected by the crisis.
“We have a good relationship with the City of Tshwane and our best endeavors are to make sure that there is power at the stadium for the match to take place as scheduled. The stadium is located in Hatfield‚ an area that does not have too many power cuts during loadshedding because of the number of embassies around it.Sundowns are playing catch-up to runaway log leaders Kaizer Chiefs and three home points against bottom of the log Stellenbosch would see them leapfrog SuperSport United into second spot.
“As I speak to you now‚ we are on the pitch with the grounds staff and we are working hard‚" he said.
