The municipality issued a statement a short while ago saying some areas in Hillcrest and Waterfal, west of the city are still without power, but that is due to a separate issue.

eThekwini says technicians are working to repair that fault.

Officials are urging residents without power, but not in Hillcrest or Waterfall, to check their earth leakage units in case they have tripped.
