Residents of Heideveld are being urged to prepare for a planned power interruption on Monday, 16 November 2026, as the City of Cape Town carries out essential maintenance work in parts of the area.
According to the City, the electricity supply is expected to be switched off from 8am until 12pm. However, residents are warned that the disruption could last longer than expected due to the nature of the work.
“The duration of the outage is an estimate. Restoration could be delayed due to the complex nature of the work. The City apologises for any inconvenience caused while the emergency and essential maintenance is being carried out.”
The interruption may affect parts of the following streets, although not all areas listed will necessarily be impacted:
- Jonkershoek Way
- Bloukrans Road
- Devil’s Peak Road
- Sneeuberg Road
- Buffelshoek Street
- Cathkin Road
- Cathedral Peak Crescent
Residents are urged to switch off their appliances before the power goes out to avoid possible damage caused by power surges when the electricity supply is restored.
The City also warns that electricity could be restored at any time during the maintenance work, and residents should treat all electrical installations as live until the work is completed.
