On Tuesday, Cape Town will experience a significant 10-hour power outage, impacting daily activities and services across the city. Meanwhile, over 18,000 residents of Santa Cruz County were left without power Friday afternoon due to a separate outage, disrupting life in the area.
The power outage also forced the closure of rides at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, leaving visitors disappointed. Local authorities are working to restore power as quickly as possible in both regions.
