The City of Cape Town electricity and generation teams will implement a 14-hour power outage to maintain essential electricity infrastructure over four weeks in Newlands.

The maintenance work will be carried out from 18:00 on Saturday, 14 June, to 8:00 on Sunday, 15 June, if all goes to plan, resulting in electricity supply interruptions.
