Thousands of South Africans in Rouxville, Zasron and Smithfield are without electricity as a result of transformer failure at Rouxville Substation in Free State.

South Africa’s struggling utility company, ESKOM, on Monday said supply to consumers in Rouxville, Zastron and Smithfield, as well as surrounding rural areas, would only be restored on Tuesday as technicians work on the problem.

The utility has apologised to the thousands of people affected
