The City humbly requests residents and businesses to bear with us during this time as all possible efforts are underway to restore normality. Some of the areas affected by power outages include the Uitenhage Industrial area, Wells Estate and Straundale, the statement read.
“Traffic Services offices in Uitenhage and Korsten have also been temporarily closed due to the strike action.
“The City would like to plead for patience and cooperation during this time as engagements are taking place to resolve the matter. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
