*URGENT NOTICE: Unplanned Electricity Outage in Piketberg*

Bergrivier Municipality can confirm that there has been an unplanned electricity outage in Piketberg at approximately 12:20 today (Thursday, 5 February 2026), resulting in the entire town currently being without electricity.

Preliminary information indicates that Eskom main line cables overheated, sparked and burned, which led to a fire along the N7 and caused the electricity system to collapse.

Eskom has been notified and is currently en route to the site to conduct an investigation and commence repair work as soon as possible.

It will take about 2 to 3 hours for the system to be restored to full functionality.

Further updates will be communicated as soon as more information becomes available.

We thank residents for their patience and understanding.

*DRINGENDE KENNISGEWING: Onbeplande Kragonderbreking in Piketberg*

Bergrivier Munisipaliteit kan bevestig dat ’n onbeplande kragonderbreking om 12:20 vandag (5 Februarie 2026) in Piketberg plaasgevind het, wat daartoe gelei het dat die hele dorp tans sonder elektrisiteit is.

Voorlopige inligting dui daarop dat Eskom se hooflynkabels gebrand het, wat ’n brand langs die N7 veroorsaak het en die elektrisiteitstelsel afgeskakel het.

Eskom is in kennis gestel en is tans oppad na die toneel om ’n ondersoek te doen en herstelwerk so spoedig moontlik te begin.

Dit sal sowat 2 tot 3 ure neem om die elektrisiteitsnetwerk weer aanlyn te kry.

Verdere inligting sal uitgereik word sodra meer inligting beskikbaar is.

*UPDATE: Electricity to be switched on in phases – Piketberg*

Bergrivier Municipality can confirm that our electrical team is currently wrapping up the planned work at the Piketberg substation.

The process of restoring the electricity supply will commence at approximately 18:20 this evening (Monday, 4 February 2026).

Electricity will be switched back on in phases, with approximately 5-minute intervals between sections of town, in order to prevent system overloading and peaking.

Residents are kindly requested to note that brief interruptions may occur during this phased restoration process.

We thank all residents for their understanding, cooperation and patience during today’s planned interruption.

*TERUGVOERING: Elektrisiteit sal in fase aangeskakel word – Piketberg*

Bergrivier Munisipaliteit wil inwoners hiermee in kennis stel dat die elektriese span tans besig is om die beplande werk by die Piketberg-substasie af te handel.

Die proses om die elektrisiteitstoevoer te herstel sal ongeveer om 18:20 begin. Die elektrisiteit sal in fase aangeskakel word, met ongeveer 5-minute onderbrekings tussen verskillende dele van die dorp, om te voorkom dat die netwerk oorlaai word.

Neem asseblief kennis dat kort onderbrekings tydens hierdie aanskakelingsproses kan voorkom.

Ons bedank alle inwoners vir hul begrip, samewerking en geduld.

WORLD CANCER DAY | 4 FEBRUARY 2026💜💜

Today we pause as a community to acknowledge World Cancer Day 💜 and to stand in unity with every person whose life has been touched by cancer. Cancer does not discriminate — it affects people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life, and its impact is felt far beyond the individual, reaching families, friends and communities.

On this day, we honour the courage of those currently fighting cancer, the resilience of survivors, and we remember with deep respect those who have lost their lives. Their journeys remind us of the importance of compassion, understanding and continued action.

World Cancer Day also calls on us to focus on prevention, early detection and access to care 🏥. Small actions such as regular health screenings, making informed lifestyle choices and supporting one another can make a meaningful difference. By sharing information and encouraging open conversations, we help break stigma and ensure that no one faces cancer alone.

💜 To those fighting — you are not alone.
💜 To survivors — your strength inspires hope.
💜 To families and caregivers — your support matters.

Together, through unity and care, we can create a future filled with hope.


******************************
WÊRELDKANKERDAG | 4 FEBRUARIE 2026 💜💜

Vandag staan ons as ’n gemeenskap verenig in eenheid en deernis om bewusmaking oor kanker te bevorder en om elke persoon te ondersteun wie se lewe deur hierdie siekte geraak is. Kanker onderskei nie – dit raak mense van alle ouderdomme, agtergronde en lewensfases, en die impak daarvan strek veel verder as die individu tot by families, vriende en die breër gemeenskap.

Op Wêreldkankerdag 💜 eer ons die moed van dié wat tans teen kanker veg, vier ons die veerkragtigheid van oorlewendes, en onthou ons met respek en liefde diegene wat ons verloor het. Hulle stories herinner ons aan die belangrikheid van medelye, begrip en volgehoue aksie.

Hierdie dag herinner ons ook aan die noodsaaklikheid van voorkoming, vroeë opsporing en toegang tot gesondheidsorg 🏥. Eenvoudige stappe soos gereelde gesondheidsondersoeke, ingeligte leefstylkeuses en om mekaar te ondersteun, kan ’n werklike verskil maak. Deur kennis te deel en oop gesprekke aan te moedig, help ons om stigma te verbreek en te verseker dat niemand alleen deur hierdie pad hoef te stap nie.

💜 Aan dié wat veg — julle is nie alleen nie.
💜 Aan oorlewendes — julle krag gee hoop.
💜 Aan families en versorgers — julle ondersteuning maak saak.

Saam, deur eenheid en omgee, kan ons ’n toekoms van hoop bou.

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR | FEBRUARY 2026

Theme: Unity

As we enter the month of February, I call on all residents of Bergrivier to reflect on the importance of unity in our communities.
Unity is the foundation upon which strong, resilient and caring communities are built. While we may come from different backgrounds and experiences, we share a common responsibility to treat one another with respect, understanding and dignity.

When we stand together, work together and support one another, we are better equipped to overcome challenges and to build a Bergrivier where everyone feels valued and included. Unity strengthens service delivery, promotes social cohesion and lays the groundwork for sustainable development.

Let this month remind us that progress is achieved not through division, but through cooperation and shared purpose.
Together, let us continue to build a united Bergrivier for current and future generations.

Alderman Ray van Rooy
Executive Mayor
Bergrivier Municipality

BOODSKAP VAN DIE BURGEMEESTER | FEBRUARIE 2026

Tema: Eenheid

Terwyl ons die maand Februarie betree, doen ek ’n beroep op alle inwoners van Bergrivier om stil te staan by die belangrikheid van eenheid binne ons gemeenskappe.
Eenheid is die fondament waarop sterk, veerkragtige en sorgsame gemeenskappe gebou word. Al kom ons uit verskillende agtergronde en belewenisse, deel ons ’n gemeenskaplike verantwoordelikheid om mekaar met respek, begrip en waardigheid te behandel.

Wanneer ons saamstaan, saamwerk en mekaar ondersteun, is ons beter toegerus om uitdagings te oorkom en om ’n Bergrivier te bou waar elkeen waardeer en ingesluit voel. Eenheid versterk dienslewering, bevorder sosiale samehorigheid en lê die grondslag vir volhoubare ontwikkeling.

Laat hierdie maand ons daaraan herinner dat vooruitgang nie deur verdeeldheid bereik word nie, maar deur samewerking en ’n gedeelde doel.

Saam kan ons voortgaan om ’n verenigde Bergrivier vir huidige en toekomstige geslagte te bou.
