Power restored to all parts of Joburg CBD─── 10:26 Wed, 06 Apr 2022
Power has been restored to all parts of the Johannesburg CBD. Electricity was cut to the area after an underground tunnel fire.
The CBD was plunged into darkness last week Monday after the fire tripped lines to the Central substation.
It affected the entire CBD and industrial areas east of the city.
While power was restored to most users by the end of last week, rain disrupted efforts to complete repairs over the weekend.
