Sentech's services in and around Tshwane, as well as the northern parts of the North West, were interrupted on Saturday 20 October 2007, from 11:40am till 3:18pm.
Mains power feeding the site failed on Friday 19 October 2007, where after the Sentech emergency power generator carried the load until 11:40am on Saturday 20 October, when the generator experienced a fault, resulting in the loss of service.
While mobilising a temporary generator, the mains power was restored to the site and all the services were fully functional at about 3:18pm.
While repairs are under way on the standby generator, a temporary emergency power generator has been installed on site.
Sentech wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused during the transmission failure.
