Clayville residents face a planned electricity interruption from 08:00 to 19:00 SAST on Sunday, 15 November, for maintenance on Eskom’s distribution network.
A report published by The South African on 14 November attributes the schedule to Eskom Gauteng’s November Connect bulletin. A separate outage listing also records Clayville’s 08:00-19:00 window.
Planned work, with arrangements subject to change
The report says circumstances beyond Eskom’s control may prevent the maintenance from proceeding as communicated. This is a planned distribution-maintenance interruption, not a national load-shedding announcement or confirmation that supply is already off.
The scheduled end time should not be treated as guaranteed restoration. Residents should check current Eskom communications for changes affecting their supply.
Treat electrical installations as live
The reported notice cautions that power can return without warning. Treat appliances and installations as live throughout; do not touch exposed wiring or attempt electrical repairs.
This report concerns Clayville only. It does not extend the same hours to neighbouring localities.
