What to know locally in Pretoria
Around the University of Pretoria in Hatfield and Brooklyn, students buy router UPS units and small power stations to keep studying through an outage.

Pretoria: the supply, the weather and the buildings
The City of Tshwane supplies most of Pretoria, with Eskom serving some areas on the northern and western edges directly. Interruptions here tend to come from overloaded mini-substations in fast growing eastern suburbs, cable theft and the violent thunderstorms that roll in on summer afternoons. Pretoria sits lower than Johannesburg and gets warmer, so a battery bolted to a west facing garage wall in Moreleta Park or Garsfontein can run hot in January. Families in the east want whole house essentials covered, embassies and guest houses in Arcadia and Waterkloof ask for quiet systems, and the student flats of Hatfield and Sunnyside lean on small UPS units and power stations for study.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Homeowners: a healthy alarm battery, backup for the cameras and the recorder on a UPS
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: backup for the guard hut, boom cameras, the perimeter fence and the control room
- Offices and home offices: alarm and access control batteries plus a UPS for the camera recorder
