Why is the power off in Pretoria?
The city says it has sent ten teams to repair damaged overhead power lines, remove fallen trees from the lines and replace stolen lines, plus three more teams for cable faults (City of Tshwane statement). It has not linked each outage to a single cause. On Saturday the city said Transformer R at Dam Substation tripped because of cable theft, as covered in our 8 November Tshwane power article.
Is this load shedding?
No. These are faults on the city's own network, not load shedding. You can check the national status on Eskom's load shedding page.
