The City of Tshwane says its energy and electricity business unit is working around the clock to restore power to an affected area in the Pretoria CBD after a major power outage on Thursday caused by theft and vandalism.
Bellom Princess Park feeders 1 and 2 in Pretoria were left in the dark, which affected other nearby business facilities, including Kgosi Mampuru Prison.
Tshwane spokesperson Lindela Mashigo said the unit traced the fault to Struben Street, near Cowie Street, and technicians had started with repairs which included terminating lines and replacing specialised joints.
