💨 Abstract

On August 12, 2025, Johannesburg City Power will implement an 8-hour power outage (8 AM to 2 PM) in six areas for maintenance. The outage is due to a faulty feeder cable in Oakland, with repairs delayed by an underground cable requiring extractions. Additionally, a breaker flashover in the Roosevelt Park Substation caused a power outage in Montgomery Park and nearby areas. The repair efforts are ongoing to ensure power restoration.
