Power Failure in Centurion, Again!

[shakes1]

Hi guys

Anyone have any details around the power failure in Centurion? It's been down from about 12:30am. There's a lot of angry and annoyed residents. Hope it's not another cable theft issue.

According to the other thread its should mostly be back up. "trouble makers" were disrupted by community watch.

Hope OP is part of community watch...

Should be back up by 14:00. Attempted cable Theft. Suspects fled without actually stealing anything.

"Brakfontein sub station: additional cable damage discovered by Tshwane Electricity. All power will be restored approximately 14:00 this afternoon. Please switch off geysers and unnecessary implements to assist with load. Via Ina"

Thanks for the updates guys. Unfortunately not part of the community watch, they did excellent work here. Big ups!

But I am giving back in my own way. Proudly a volunteer medic!

CCC use Zello, a free two-way radio for smartphones. No reason not to be with them.
Looking at their Facebook page, there is a sht load of violent crime in Centurion.

I heard something like that. The thing is people don't actually know the amount of local crime incidents if they are not "plugged in"

Brakfontein SS again! They just fixed it. Where are the promised security guards they appointed?
