Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says residents should brace themselves for more extended stages of load-shedding.
He says the city has activated the Disaster Operations Centre for stage 6 as well as preparing for how to manage any escalation to stages 7 or 8.
Hill-Lewis says the city has ensured maximum deployment in areas affected by prolonged power outages, redirecting enforcement and emergency service resources where necessary. They are also conducting point duty at major intersections affected by load-shedding.
