Saldanha Bay prepaid electricity purchases to pause on Wednesday night
Ontec vending-system maintenance is scheduled from 22:00 on 11 November for about 30 minutes. The notice concerns purchases, rather than a planned power cut.
Prepaid electricity purchases through Saldanha Bay Municipality's Ontec vending system will be unavailable during scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, 11 November.
The municipality's official notice sets the start for 22:00 and gives an approximate duration of 30 minutes.
Residents who need to buy electricity should plan purchases outside that window. The stated duration is an estimate, rather than a confirmed completion time.
The notice concerns the ability to purchase prepaid electricity. It does not announce an interruption to electricity supply and should not be read as a municipal power-cut schedule.
This is a planned service interruption checked on 10 November 2026. The maintenance has not yet taken place; consult the municipality's notices for any change to the timetable.
