ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UPDATE – NEW BRIGHTON, KWAZAKHELE, ZWIDE AND SURROUNDING AREAS
Thursday, 2 July 2026
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Electricity and Energy Directorate would like to provide residents with an update on the ongoing electricity supply challenges affecting New Brighton, KwaZakhele, Zwide and surrounding areas.
Municipal technical teams have been working on the 31MVA transformer at the Matomela Substation with the aim of ending the current load reduction and restoring the network to normal operating conditions.
However, during the energisation process and while transferring customers onto the transformer, technical teams identified abnormal activity on the 31MVA transformer. If left unattended, this could result in a major fault or failure of the transformer. As a precautionary measure, the transformer has not been placed into service while further technical assessments are undertaken.
In the interim, the 20MVA transformer will continue supplying the affected areas. To reduce pressure on the network and maintain a stable electricity supply, the Municipality appeals to residents to use electricity sparingly, particularly during peak periods. Where possible, residents are requested to switch off high-consumption appliances such as electric heaters and geysers until further notice.
AFFECTED AREAS:
* New Brighton
* KwaZakhele
* Zwide
* Surrounding areas
The Municipality sincerely apologises for the continued inconvenience and appreciates the patience, understanding and cooperation shown by residents, businesses and essential service providers. Our technical teams remain on site and are working diligently to resolve the matter safely and as quickly as possible.
Further updates will be communicated as soon as additional information becomes available.
Contact Details:
* 041 585 1555 – NMBM Emergency Response Number
* 079 490 0480 – NMBM Safety and Security WhatsApp Number
* 10111 – SAPS Emergency Number

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality remains committed to providing a safe, reliable and sustainable electricity supply to all residents.
Your safety remains our top priority.
