It took City Power about five days to fix the problem, leaving residents stuck in a blackout situation.
City Power would like to thank all the affected residents for being patient with them while they were working on the problem.
“We have now restored electricity to all suburbs in the area, but we still urge customers to continue to save electricity by switching off all their non-essential appliances,” said City Power spokesperson, Sol Masolo.
