According to the power utility, the transformer tripped at around 21:00 on Tuesday, while officials were repairing and replacing damaged equipment following a fire at the substation on 18 July.<\/p>\n

“The fire at the substation caused a major shutdown to major parts of Sebokeng,” it said.<\/p>\n

Sebokeng Hospital, Naledi Nkanyezi Hospital, the local fire department and police station, the Magistrate’s Court, the Department of Home Affairs, and the Department of Social Development have been affected by the outage.<\/p>\n
