Tshwane mayor Nasiphi Moya said there was no need to panic after a section of the Kwagga electricity substation went up in flames on Thursday night and left more than half of the capital in the dark.

Moya, who was elected mayor on Wednesday after being acting mayor for the past two weeks, had her hands full with three substations damaged in the past two weeks.

"We had a couple of outages, of which the main outage was the Kwagga substation which left 58% of the residents in Tshwane without power for a couple of hours.

"I can confirm all the areas have been energised, also Soshanguve is on, Pyramid is on," she said.

"For the past 10 days, there has been an outage in the area supplied by the Pyramid substation that was re-energised early yesterday morning.

"In Soshanguve where we had a case of theft and vandalism, we were able to energise the substation yesterday, even though we were planning to energise by Sunday," she said.
