Additional Eskom teams from unaffected areas are being deployed to support local crews and help accelerate restoration efforts.  In Bitou Municipality (Plettenberg Bay), most areas have been restored. In the areas still affected, the Eskom teams are strategically working from the substation and progressing down the damaged lines to restore supply to customers in Rheenendal, Nature’s Valley, Harkerville, and The Crags. In these areas access remains difficult due to flooding, strong winds, and trees obstructing pathway to restore the power lines.  All critical supply points, such as clinics, water and sewerage pump supplies in these areas remains prioritity when the conditions are favourable for repairs.  In Sedgefield, Eskom supply has been restored to the municipality bulk point.  Oudtshoorn has been significantly impacted by the storms. Eskom teams are currently on site, re-assessing the ground and access conditions and will restore customers where possible. Safety of our staff remains our top priority as we navigate the recovery process.  In Leeu Gamka, a fault has been reported to Eskom, and teams are currently attending to the repairs, with an estimated time of restoration at 13:00 today, 9 May 2026.  Eskom technical teams remain actively deployed, working under difficult conditions to carry out fault-finding and repairs as safely and efficiently as possible.  Eskom would like to thank its customers for their patience, understanding and support during this challenging time while teams continue working to restore electricity supply as safely and quickly as possible.

#EskomWesternCape #UpdateUnplannedPowerOutages #GardenRoute #OudtshoornAndSurroundingAreas #PlettenbergBayAndSurroundingAreas #Sedgefield  UPDATE: Adverse Weather Conditions Disrupt Electricity Supply in the Garden Route, Friday, 08 May 2026  Eskom technicians continue to work around the clock to restore electricity supply to areas affected by ongoing adverse weather conditions in the Garden Route, particularly Plettenberg Bay and surrounding areas, as well as Oudtshoorn and nearby communities.  The outages are a result of severe storm damage, compounded by significant accessibility challenges. Critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and access routes, has been damaged, thereby restricting restoration efforts.  While technical teams are actively deployed and conducting systematic fault-finding and repairs, progress remains hampered by these constraints.  Customers are urged to remain patient and to treat all electrical appliances and connections as live. Essential infrastructure, including waterworks and sewerage systems, is being prioritised in the restoration process.  Eskom apologises for the inconvenience caused and appreciates the public’s understanding as restoration efforts continue.
