Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71771, member: 636"] A significant power outage impacted multiple northern suburbs of Pretoria following a fire at the Van Riebeeck substation. The incident caused the 132kV Bellom Line 2 to trip, cutting electricity to thousands of residents. City of Tshwane technical teams were dispatched to address the fault and restore supply. Areas affected included Capital Park, Mayville, Pretoria North, Wonderboom, and Wolmer. By midday, power had been successfully restored to most locations, though work continued at the original substation site. Officials thanked residents for their patience and emphasized that safety remained the top priority during the repair operations. This event adds to recent electricity reliability challenges in the city. [/QUOTE]
