Cape Agulhas Municipality would like to provide residents with the following electricity supply update received from Eskom:
Electricity supply has been restored to Bredasdorp and Arniston after Eskom successfully switched power from an alternative supply region.
Please note that the original cause of the major outage has not yet been repaired.
The following areas remain without electricity supply:

* Suiderstrand
* Napier
* Elim
* Surrounding farms in the affected areas
* Farms surrounding Bredasdorp and Arniston
According to Eskom, Struisbaai, Struisbaai North, L’Agulhas and Suiderstrand remain affected due to Eskom poles that were blown over during severe weather conditions and are currently lying on the ground.
Eskom teams remain on site and restoration efforts are continuing where weather conditions and safety permit.
We thank residents for their patience, understanding and cooperation during this difficult time. Further updates will be communicated as soon as more information becomes available.

ESKOM KRAGONDERBREKING OPDATERING
Dinsdag, 12 Mei 2026, 14:00
Kaap Agulhas Munisipaliteit wil inwoners van die volgende elektrisiteitsopdatering, soos ontvang vanaf Eskom, in kennis stel:
Elektrisiteit is herstel na Bredasdorp en Arniston nadat Eskom daarin geslaag het om krag vanaf ’n alternatiewe voorsieningsgebied oor te skakel.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die oorspronklike oorsaak van die groot kragonderbreking nog nie herstel is nie.
Die volgende gebiede is steeds sonder elektrisiteit:
* Struisbaai
* Struisbaai-Noord
* L’Agulhas
* Suiderstrand
* Napier
* Elim
* Omliggende plase in die geaffekteerde gebiede
* Plase rondom Bredasdorp en Arniston
Volgens Eskom word Struisbaai, Struisbaai-Noord, L’Agulhas en Suiderstrand steeds geaffekteer as gevolg van Eskom-pale wat tydens die erge weerstoestande omgewaai het en tans op die grond lê.
Eskom-spanne bly op die terrein en herstelwerk gaan voort waar weerstoestande en veiligheid dit toelaat.
Ons bedank inwoners vir hul geduld, begrip en samewerking gedurende hierdie moeilike tyd. Verdere opdaterings sal gekommunikeer word sodra meer inligting beskikbaar raak.
