Eskom says the severity of the storm has affected its infrastructure resulting in power cuts. Areas without electricity include Munster, Port Edward, South Broom, Margate, Paddock, Marina Beach, Red Hill and Hibberdene. 


Eskom's Joyce Zingoni says technicians are working around the clock to get power back up in the affected areas.


"We have several power interruptions on the SouthCoast due to a storm there yesterday. Areas affected range from Pennington down to Hibberdene", she said.


"We urge all customers to treat all installations as live", Zingoni said.


"Our teams are working to ensure that power is restored as soon as possible", she said.
