The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has alerted the public to disruptions affecting the transmission of some of its broadcasting services following a prolonged power outage in and around Auckland Park.
The outage, which began on Sunday morning, has forced the public broadcaster to rely on generator power to maintain its operations.
However, the extended use of backup power has affected the SABC's ability to sustain normal transmission across certain platforms and services.
The disruption follows a secondary explosion at a City Power substation, with the utility confirming on Tuesday that it could not provide a timeframe for the restoration of electricity.
SABC technical teams are working to minimise interruptions and restore affected services as quickly as possible.
The broadcaster's Head of Communications and Stakeholder Relations, Mmoni Ngubane, said the corporation was engaging with relevant stakeholders to monitor developments and implement measures to reduce the impact of the outage.
Ngubane apologised to audiences and stakeholders for the inconvenience caused, adding that further updates would be shared through the SABC's official platforms as more information becomes available.
