Power for Peacehaven─── 17:41 Mon, 03 May 2021
Peacehaven residents in Vereeniging in the Vaal Triangle will finally have an electricity supply, once a transformer that blew up more than 30 days ago is replaced.
The affected residents have been protesting and blocked streets with various objects.
In a separate protest, the residents of Sebokeng also blocked streets, after they had been without electricity supply for a week.
Meanwhile, the Emfuleni Local Municipality has stated that the replacement transformer and cables were delivered on Friday, however, work could not commence due to rainy conditions.
The municipality further elaborated that technicians have since started repairs in efforts to restore the power supply.
