Electricity Supply Interruption Notice
Eskom regrets to inform customers that a copper theft incident on the Hawston feeder, supplied from the Hawston Substation in the Caledon area, has resulted in an unplanned power outage affecting Fisherhaven, Onrus River and Vermont.
Preliminary investigations indicate that two spans of copper conductor were stolen, resulting in the interruption of electricity supply to these areas.
Copper theft not only disrupts electricity supply to communities and businesses but also poses a serious safety risk to members of the public and Eskom employees. These criminal acts damage critical infrastructure and negatively impact service delivery.
Acting General Manager for the Cape Coastal Cluster, Promise Ntuli, said: “Copper theft remains a scourge that continues to undermine service delivery, damage critical infrastructure and place lives at risk. These criminal acts have far-reaching consequences for our customers, local communities and the economy. We call on all residents to work with us by reporting suspicious activities so that together we can protect essential electricity infrastructure and ensure a reliable power supply for all.”
Our technical teams are currently on site and are working to restore supply to feeders that have not been affected by the vandalism. In parallel, investigations are underway to determine the operating sequence of the network protection system and to assess the full extent of the damage.
At this stage, an estimated restoration time (ETR) is not yet available. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Eskom apologises for the inconvenience caused and appreciates the patience and understanding of affected customers while our teams work to restore electricity supply safely and as quickly as possible.
⚠️ Safety Reminder: Please always treat all electrical installations as live. We urge all community members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities around electricity infrastructure to the Eskom Crime Line on 0800 11 27 22.
🚨 Help us protect our infrastructure. Copper theft is a criminal offence that affects entire communities. By reporting suspicious activities, you can help safeguard electricity supply and support efforts to combat infrastructure-related crime.

#Bloekombos and #Wallacedene
Date: Tuesday, 18 February 2025
Eskom sincerely apologises for the ongoing power outage affecting Bloekombos and a portion of Wallacedene. The delay in restoring supply is due to informal structures that have been built under the Eskom infrastructure, which creates serious safety hazards and makes maintenance extremely challenging.
We understand the frustration this causes and appreciate your patience. However, we must emphasise that building under Eskom infrastructure is illegal and poses severe risks to lives and power stability.
Our teams have managed to remove one informal structure and are working hard to find a solution. Eskom will provide updates as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there is no estimated time available for when supply will be restored. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
