PHONE LINES down in Stellenbosch (as received by our municipality):

Please note that Telkom has experienced multiple transmission line failures which are affecting the greater Stellenbosch area, including the Municipality.

The latest feedback is that the damage was caused by road civil contractor work to cables feeding Stellenbosch town.

They have identified the area and are currently sourcing cable lengths to make ready for trenching and hauling. The challenge they face is that the current manhole they need to access is covered by paving that must be excavated to assist with the needed access.

ICT will continue to follow up with Telkom for regular updates until the matter is resolved.
