As if load shedding were not bad enough, the Brynorth substation has gone up in a bit of smoke. Bryanston and surrounding areas in Johannesburg were plunged into even more power outage pain amid load shedding from Eskom after the Brynorth substation explosion, City Power said in a statement on Saturday.
A feederboard at Brynorth had blown up, the service provider said, providing pictures of photos showing serious damage apparently being repaired.

“Traffic will also be affected, as most parts of William Nicol through Bryanston remain off,” City Power said.
An update would be given once technicians had determined the extent of the damage, City Power tweeted before noon.
