Power utility, NamPower, has resolved to suspend power supply to a number of villages, town councils, government departments and customers with long outstanding accounts.
The utility in an announcement on Wednesday said it will cut the power on Wednesday, 11 July as from 07h00.

Additional, the Village Councils which will be in the dark include: Tses Village Council, Koës Village Council and Berseba Village Council, while the Aranos Town Council and Aranos Town Abattoir and Congo Namibia Trading (Pty) Ltd (Kombat Mine) will also be disconnected.
“Institutions that provide critical services are kindly advised to ensure that standby generators are used or alternative arrangements are made,” said NamPower Manager: Corporate Communication and Marketing, Tangeni Kambangula.
