The Gauteng provincial government and State-owned power utility Eskom have agreed to implement joint action to deal with ongoing disruptions in electricity supply in several areas of the province.

The provincial government, led by special adviser to the Premier on service delivery and political management Eric Mxolisi Xayiya, met with Eskom’s recently to discuss the ongoing problems regarding the increasing number of repeated equipment failure in some areas of Gauteng.

Eskom previously reported that there were increasing incidents of illegal connections, which led to overloading and, subsequently, the failure of transformers and mini substations.

This includes meter tampering, electricity theft and vandalism of infrastructure.

Increased equipment failure also had a significant impact on operations, finances and the safety of employees and members of the public.
