Power outages expected for parts of PMB today and Friday
Various parts of Msunduzi can expect to be without power on Thursday and Friday as substation repairs are to be carried out.
The Mason Primary substation is currently out of action since a recent explosion.
The municipality's Thobeka Mafumbatha says technicians have had to resort to rotating areas receiving supply.
She says power cuts can be expected in some areas from 11am until later this afternoon (approximately 4pm).
