Areas still switching

Green Hills is still without electricity. OR Tambo remains without power after a line blew out of the ground during switching; the cause is unknown, and Ruan Sheppard says the team is waiting for Eskom to resume switching before areas are switched on again. Dan Tloome remains off until its switchgear is replaced following a fire at Drowell substation; a portion of Bootha plots towards Drowell is also affected. Other areas were expected to be on by now, but switching may still be underway; no further feedback has been received.
