Following the recent storms that devastated the Western Cape, South Africa, the provincial government is making strides in restoring essential services. Eskom reported that the storms caused 200 major trips and approximately 9,000 faults in their network. Currently, about 70% of these faults have been fixed, but 30% remain, primarily due to ongoing flooding, destroyed high-voltage pylons in hard-to-reach areas, and the need for redesigning routes for secondary lines. Anton Bredell, the MEC for Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, stated that Eskom and its partners are working tirelessly to restore power, redirecting resources to communities as soon as power is restored in other areas. Many residents have been without electricity for nearly two weeks, leading to frustration. The Department of Infrastructure noted that 400 roads were impacted, with 61% restored so far. Additionally, 56 Section 30A approvals have been issued to facilitate emergency construction work. Humanitarian relief efforts continue in collaboration with non-governmental organizations to support affected communities.
