Johannesburg: Storms and high winds are wreaking havoc on South Africa's electricity supply, with disruptions reported nationwide. 'While major disruptions in the Eastern Cape have largely been addressed, the KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, and Free State provinces remain severely affected,' state power utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. said in a statement on Sunday.
According to Emirates News Agency, the adverse weather conditions are placing significant strain on response times, particularly in areas where access is restricted due to flooding, damaged infrastructure, or unsafe terrain. Eskom teams are working around the clock to restore the power supply safely and as quickly as possible, the statement added.
