Johannesburg Power Cuts for Grid Upgrade | Johannesburg News

City Power in Johannesburg is rolling out major, scheduled power cuts across key suburbs like Orchards, Norwood, and Westgate to upgrade aging substations — a necessary tune-up to prevent bigger blackouts. While it means temporary outages lasting full days, the maintenance is critical for long-term grid reliability and safety. Residents are urged to treat all outlets as live and unplug devices to avoid damage when power returns. It’s an inconvenient trade-off for a more stable future.
