Efforts are underway to restore electricity in parts of Tshwane after an explosion at the Njala Substation left several areas without power on Wednesday morning.
The incident affected the Mooikloof, Highlands, Wapadrand, and Wingate substations. Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya confirmed that the fire at the site has been extinguished and assured residents that the outage is not expected to last for several days.
“We are working to restore power as soon as possible,” Moya said.
Meanwhile, the City’s Energy and Electricity Department is assessing the extent of the damage to determine the full impact and necessary repairs.
