Over the past few days, eThekwini Municipality was able to reconnect power to numerous areas, thanks to technicians who in the aftermath of the floods, have been working unceasingly.

Power has been fully restored in the following areas:

 

Amanzimtoti, Prospecton, Doonside, uMlazi H and G sections, Chatsworth, Southway Mall, Illovu, KwaMakhutha, Folweni, Mbumbulu, Merebank, Lamontville, Glebelands Hostel, Philani Valley, Mavern, Hillary, Fynnlands, Woodhurst, Kharwastan and Seaview.
