Iziphepho ezinamandla KwaZulu-Natal ngoMsombuluko zidale ukunqamuka kukagesi, izingozi zomgwaqo, nomonakalo wempahla. U-Eskom ubike ngokuphazamiseka kwezindawo okubalwa kuzo iCato Ridge, eMpangeni, eHluhluwe, eNkandla, naseStanger. Imizamo yokubuyisela iyaqhubeka, kodwa isimo sezulu esingesihle kanye nenani elikhulu lokunqamuka kubangela ukubambezeleka. Izakhamizi ziyanxuswa ukuthi zigweme izintambo eziwile futhi zibike nobungozi.
Imvula enamandla idale izikhukhula ezindaweni eziningi, okuhlanganisa umzila waseMgungundlovu-Durban, N3 (Cato Ridge to Ashburton), Virginia Circle in Durban North, kanye nezingxenye zeVerulam, Phoenix, kanye noMbilo. Amabhuloho anezikhukhula nemigwaqo kuye kwadala izimo zokushayela eziyingozi.
UNgqongqoshe wezokuThutha nokuHlaliswa kwaBantu, uMnuz Siboniso Duma, ubalule ukwanda kwezingozi zomgwaqo njengoba zingu-10 abantu abashonile kusukela ngoJanuwari 1, wanxusa abashayeli ukuthi baqaphele. Amaqembu azinikele aqapha ukuphepha emgwaqeni.
Ukuze kusizwe imindeni ekhahlamezekile, kuthengwa izindlu zesikhashana eNkandla, kanti ezinye zizothola izinto zokwakha. Umnyango usebenzisana nomasipala ukulungisa umonakalo.
U-Eskom kanye neziphathimandla zikahulumeni ziyaqhubeka nokuphendula ngokushesha, kodwa izakhamuzi ziyelulekwa ukuthi zihlale ziqaphile phakathi nalezi zimo eziyinselele.
