Power
A possible transformer problem near the hospital in Springbok followed a loud bang. Initial repairs to a faulty end terminal are complete, but the damaged transformer is leaking oil and is being taken to a contractor for assessment and a repair quote; repairs are expected tomorrow, and restoration timing is unconfirmed. Workers are reported at Namakhoi. No transformer stock is available, and a broken unit is being sent to a contractor for stripping and a quote.

Kimberly reports that all of Namakhoi is now without water and says a call-centre ticket was logged.
