Eskom has condemned the theft and vandalism of its equipment in Gauteng.
The power utility said it had recorded an increase in incidents which were affecting its ability to supply electricity to customers.
The concern comes as repair work continues at the Zola substation in Soweto, which caught fire earlier in June due to alleged vandalism.
The fire resulted in large parts of the township being plunged into darkness.
While repair work continues, the power utility has implemented load rotation in the affected areas to ease pressure on the system.
Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokoena: “These criminal acts do not only affect the power utility, but they inconvenience law-abiding, paying customers and affect community service points such as healthcare facilities, education facilities, businesses, and the economy at large, as seen with the Zola incident.”
