eThekwini working 'around the clock' to fix power outages
eThekwini Electricity says it's working around the clock to
restore power to parts of Durban that are still without supply.
The weekend's heavy rains and strong winds knocked out electricity to many areas.
The department says around 3 200 faults were reported over the weekend.
It says the outage in Ntuzuma A and B sections has been resolved and technicians are now focussing on C and H sections.
Restoration is in progress in Isolezwe, P and G sections and in Prospecton.

It says repairs are also being done in LaMercy and Umdloti where infrastructure was severely damaged and in Marianridge and Pinetown where a faulty cable is being fixed.
The city says some of the electrical equipment was submerged in water during the floods and residents can expect supply issues for a while.
It says eThekwini is still not participating in load shedding so any outage is not related.
