South Africa’s power utility company Eskom has intensified electricity restoration to the Eastern Cape storm impacted villages in Butterworth and Centane.
The remaining villages that were heavily affected by the storm last week include Godidi, Cerhu, Nontshinga, Mthwaku, Ncalukeni, Diphini, Gobe, Mgobozi, Jojweni and Manqulo.
Last week, The South African Weather Services warned of severe and intense weather conditions.
Unfortunately, such conditions interrupt electricity supply and affect restoration time. Eskom technicians are attending to the faults and will restore supply as soon as possible.
“We thank the affected customers for their patience. Customers without electricity are urged to treat all electricity appliances as live during this period”, the company said in a statement.
