The City of Cape Town will interrupt electricity supply to five Bellville areas for nine hours on Tuesday 28 October for essential infrastructure maintenance. The planned outage will affect Kanonberg, Oude Westhof, Van Riebeeckhof, Welgedacht and Protea Valley from 07:30 to 16:30.
The City apologised for any inconvenience and confirmed maintenance work originally scheduled for Saturday 25 October, which had been postponed to Tuesday. City officials said the electricity supply could be restored at any time during the maintenance period, and residents were expected to treat all electrical installations as live for the full duration.
