UNPLANNED POWER SUPPLY DISRUPTION – ERMELO

06 June 2026

Notice is hereby given that we are currently experiencing a power interruption in Ermelo.

This outage is due to faulty Medium Voltage (MV) supply cable.

*Affected Areas:*

Area 3 on the load reduction

The team has successfully located the fault. However, repair work could not commence today as the damaged section is situated within an area where the river is currently flowing. In addition, another medium-voltage (MV) cable runs through the same location.

To avoid damaging the adjacent cable and to ensure that the repair is carried out safely and correctly, the team has decided to suspend work for today.

Repair activities will resume tomorrow morning once the necessary precautions and working conditions are in place.

Further updates will be communicated as more information becomes available.

Msukaligwa Local Municipality (MLM) apologizes for any inconvenience caused to the affected community members and appreciates your patience while the matter is being attended to.
