⚡️ ESKOM GARDEN ROUTE UPDATE | 24 MAY 2026

Eskom teams continue working around the clock to restore electricity supply to remaining affected areas in the Garden Route following severe weather damage.

✅ Electricity supply has been restored to:
• The Crags
• Nature’s Valley

🔧 Current restoration progress:
• Approximately 60% of the Langkloof network has been restored.
• Blanco farms remain without electricity. Eskom indicated that an estimated restoration time (ETR) will be communicated once available.
• Harkerville remains without supply, with restoration currently estimated for Saturday, 30 May 2026.

⚠️ Eskom has also reported continued copper cable theft in parts of the Garden Route, which is disrupting repair operations and delaying restoration efforts in certain areas.

Communities are urged to assist by reporting any suspicious activity linked to vandalism or cable theft to Eskom or SAPS immediately.

⚡ Residents are reminded to treat all electrical infrastructure as LIVE at all times.

George Municipality would like to sincerely thank residents and the broader community for their patience, understanding, and support following the recent storm surge and its impact on the town.
A special word of appreciation is extended to all residents, volunteers, community organisations, and stakeholders who came out on Saturday, 16 May, to assist with the clean-up efforts across the town. Your willingness to give your time and contribute towards restoring our community reflects a strong spirit of unity and civic responsibility, and your efforts are greatly valued and appreciated.
Municipal teams are continuing with the removal of hazardous and overhanging trees, as well as the clearing of storm-related debris across affected areas. The Municipality would like to assure the public that all areas where municipal trees have fallen will be attended to. Tree removal operations will continue according to the scheduled programme, subject to weather conditions and operational considerations.

Ongoing Clean-up Operations and Waste Disposal Appeal
The Municipality further appeals to residents to refrain from disposing of garden refuse and other waste on municipal pavements and in public spaces. Residents are encouraged to continue making use of the designated landfill facilities and to follow the established waste disposal procedures to assist in maintaining a clean and safe environment for all.
George Municipality thanks all residents for their ongoing cooperation and support as restoration efforts continue.

The table below outlines the planned programme for the removal of trees and storm-related debris across the affected areas.
