Urgent Intervention- Rooipoort, Weltevede, Spaarveldt Power Crisis

Residents and stakeholders call on Provincial COGTA (Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs) to urgently intervene and conduct an independent technical assessment of the electricity network in Rooipoort, Weltevrede, and Spaarveldt.

· These areas are experiencing frequent and prolonged power outages

· Residents and businesses are suffering ongoing damage to electrical equipment

· Critically, failures in this network are tripping and disrupting power supply to the entire town

This is no longer a localised issue — it is a town-wide infrastructure risk.

There is a demand for:

· An urgent, independent technical assessment

· Clear identification of the root causes of repeated failures

· An evaluation of the municipality’s maintenance capacity

· Immediate intervention measures to stabilise supply

· A time-bound recovery and upgrade plan

Enough is enough:

The community cannot continue to endure systemic failure, economic loss, and service instability.

Provincial COGTA is called on to act NOW.
