Power utility Eskom on May 28 confirmed that an emergency siren was inadvertently activated during routine maintenance and assured the public that there was no emergency.

"At approximately 14:00 today, Siren 913 – located in the green belt opposite West Coast Village in Sunningdale – was inadvertently activated during routine maintenance. The siren emitted a brief alarm tone," the utility noted in a statement to the public.

Eskom pointed out that the siren was one of more than 80 that form part of the Public Notification System supporting the Koeberg Nuclear Emergency Plan. "Regular testing and maintenance are conducted to ensure the system remains fully operational and responsive," it said.
