KLERKSDORP NORTH
"Good evening everyone

We’ve mentioned this before, but it’s important to explain again:
*The high-voltage feeder cables running from the Doringkruin Substation to the Monica West Substation are the lines that feed the entire northern area.*

These cables are extremely old, which is why the teams have been digging up the centre island in Buffesldoorn Road for the past six months. Until the full length of these cables has been replaced, we will continue to experience cable faults like the one today and the outages we’ve had previously.

These power outages are not predictable—they can happen at any time. Expecting the Council to alert us the moment a cable faults is unfortunately unrealistic, because they themselves only know the cause after teams have assessed the situation.

Another major challenge is that they can no longer ring-feed us. In the past, power could be rerouted from another feeder to keep the area supplied while one line was down. But with these old cables failing, there is no longer a backup route available.

We know how incredibly frustrating this is for both businesses and households—especially for residents who rely on oxygen.

With the festive season approaching, it is unfortunately safe to expect a few more days like this. Please be prepared:
• Avoid keeping large quantities of meat / food that can go off in your deep freezer.
• Keep frozen bottles of water in the deep freeze to help keep items frozen during outages - don’t open and close the freezer unless you need to.
• Ensure you have backup supplies for oxygen and anything else essential.

The good news is that once these cables are fully replaced, it should be a very long time before we see full-day outages of this nature again.
The recent heavy rains and saturated ground have also made repairs more difficult and have contributed to the faults.

For now we just hope the teams working this evening face no challenges and are able to complete repairs before tomorrow 😞"
