The DA in the Buffalo City Metro has urged the city to embark on an audit of all its electrical infrastructure and carry out regular maintenance to avert further protracted outages.
The lights came back on across large parts of East London at just after 2pm on Tuesday after an unprecedented 40-hour-long power outage that crippled industry, left residents in the dark, and cost untold amounts in lost revenue, production and spoilt food.But minutes after the power was restored, some residents complained it went off immediately, apparently due a combination of scheduled load-shedding and other unscheduled faults.
