    Default Power outage in the Kempton Park area

    From around 1pm today, power is out in Glen Marais and surrounding suburbs. Anyone else effected and any information as to what the problem might be....???

    Hi Sandmanm34

    I am at the airport, and we were also affected... Interestingly, our DSL connection went down a few minutes into the failure, so I assume the exchange had power problems internally, which I have not seen before.

    Sorry to hear, I feel your pain... I think the DSL failure is coincidental as the exchange runs on batteries and generator power.

    Went down in Spartan twice, once this morning for around 40 mins, then at 15:30. When driving home (16:00) all the power was out from Spartan right through to just before Norkem Park.

    Yip, everything was ok today. Some of the people at work who stay in Glen Marais / Aston Manor said their power came back on last night sometime (between 6 and 9pm)
