# AfriForum has criticised the City of Tshwane for thwarting the implementation of the organisation’s plan for safeguarding substations in the metro. Several parts of Centurion and Pretoria East were without power on Tuesday due to an explosion at the Zwartkop substation. Last month, a transformer at the Waltloo substation caught fire. AfriForum’s Arno Roodt says outdated infrastructure, poor management, ongoing cable theft, and the sabotage of infrastructure are some reasons for the disruptive fires at substations.
AfriForum accuses Tshwane of obstructing its safety plan for protecting substations
