A widespread power outage has hit several areas in Johannesburg, leaving homes, businesses and essential services without electricity.
The outage, which started today, has caused significant disruptions, with residents reporting sudden blackouts and uncertainty about when power will be restored.
The fault is linked to a failure in the local power distribution network, and technical teams are investigating the cause, which may involve overloaded infrastructure or damaged equipment.
The outage has affected traffic, businesses, and residents working from home, with some healthcare facilities relying on generators.
City Power has apologized for the inconvenience and is working to restore electricity as quickly and safely as possible, but no timeline has been given.
Residents are advised to use electricity sparingly once supply is restored and to report outages through official channels.
