Johannesburg - Some parts of Johannesburg city centre are still without electricity following an underground fire in a cable tunnel earlier this week, a spokesperson said on Thursday.
"We are still busy with repairs, only 90% of power has been restored," said city power spokesperson Louis Pieterse.
He said some robots in the southern parts of the city centre were also still off because of the power failure.
The fire, which started in the early hours of Monday morning, left areas south of President and Market streets without power.
Pieterse could not rule out attempted cable theft as the cause of the fire.
