The city initially said power would be restored by Tuesday, but some residents are still without electricity.
Kempton Park resident Louis Rossouw says nobody has been able to give them answers.
Rossouw said a technical worker was sent to speak to them but did not know when lights will be back on.

"The main guy is inside but he doesn't want to come and speak with the people. There's no big shot or nothing to help the people out."
Rossouw says power was meant to be restored by midnight last night.
Meanwhile, Head of Energy in Ekurhuleni Mark Willson says they have attended to last customers and power is expected to be back up at 1 pm on Friday.
