The City of Cape Town said that it would do everything in its power to lower the impact of rolling blackouts.
The city has activated its disaster operations centre to mitigate any potential impact on residents.
With the indefinite implementation of stage six power cuts, the city said that its traffic and other enforcement agencies would be on standby for any public safety issues, focusing on areas affected by the rolling power cuts.
The city said that it would monitor hot spot areas for cable theft as well as encourage residents to report any incidents of theft or vandalism.
The municipality added that sewer spills and overflows may happen with prolonged stages of blackouts, despite contingency plans.
However, the city said that it was doing all it could to ensure a safe, pleasant, and healthy coastal environment.
