No estimated time has been given as to when the power will be back up. A fault at Eskom's Tafelbaai substation has left large parts of Cape Town without electricity on Saturday, the power utility confirmed.

The City of Cape Town's mayoral committee member for energy and climate change, Beverley van Reenen, said on Saturday that a team from the City was conducting a fault-finding exercise. "The feed in station links Eskom's supply to the City network. Within about an hour, Eskom and thus the City will likely understand the scale of the situation and what actions can be taken. The City will update its customers again shortly," said Van Reenen.Some of the areas affected include the CBD and surrounds, the Atlantic Seaboard and the southern suburbs.
