Power
The outage at Villieria substation is caused by stolen cores, with repair teams attending. The Wonderboom South outage at 18th Avenue and De Beer Street remains under investigation.

Internet
Internet services remain affected in Waterkloof Glen, including Hugo Street, Marni Street, Roslyn Avenue, Judith Street, Timothy Street, Beethoven and Durr Street; reports suggest road construction damaged a cable. Fibre is also down on Anton van Wouw. Internet is also down in Constantia Park, where technicians are working to restore service.
