If City of Cape Town electricity isn't working
Is it down for everyone? Check whether your area is in a scheduled load-shedding slot first. If it isn't, it's likely a local fault.
- Check your prepaid meter still has units before reporting a fault.
- Switch off sensitive appliances to protect them when power returns.
- Log a fault with your municipality or Eskom and keep the reference number.
- Tell @CityofCT on X. Companies respond faster when many people post.
