Electricity supply to Hendrina and surrounding areas in Mpumalanga has been restored, Eskom announced on Wednesday.
The communities had been without power since Saturday after four high-voltage lines tripped on Saturday, causing an outage.
The incident occurred when a dam at the Optimum Mine overflowed, submerging the lines and causing a power trip.
“Good weather conditions on Tuesday allowed Eskom technicians to work unhindered. We apologise for the inconvenience the outage has caused,” Eskom said.
