Residents and businesses in Kraaifontein, Cape Town, are monitoring an electricity outage reported today, Monday, September 28, 2026. Current outage information lists an active fault in Kraaifontein Industria, indicating that the disruption is affecting at least part of the industrial area.
The reported fault is located on Industrial Road, where a 150A miniature circuit breaker (MCB) has tripped. The available service information does not currently provide a confirmed restoration time, meaning customers in the affected area may need to wait for municipal electricity crews to assess the fault and complete repairs.
The outage is being recorded separately from scheduled load shedding. The latest Cape Town load-shedding schedule shows no load shedding for September 28, so an electricity interruption in Kraaifontein should not automatically be assumed to be part of a scheduled power cut.
A local electricity fault can affect homes, shops, offices and industrial facilities, potentially interrupting lighting, security systems, internet connectivity, refrigeration, machinery and other electrical equipment. Businesses in the affected industrial area may experience operational disruptions until supply is restored.
Customers who remain without electricity should report the problem to the City of Cape Town so that the utility has accurate information about affected properties. The municipality provides a 24-hour electricity fault service on 0860 103 089. Customers can also SMS their fault to 31220 or email
Residents and businesses should take precautions while waiting for restoration. Sensitive electronic equipment can be switched off or unplugged, while refrigerators and freezers should remain closed as much as possible during a prolonged outage. Any damaged electrical equipment or downed infrastructure should be treated cautiously.
At present, the cause is listed as a tripped 150A MCB, while an official restoration time has not been provided. Residents should monitor City of Cape Town service updates for changes to the outage status and restoration information as technicians investigate the problem.
