  "account": "Johannesburg City Power is making significant progress in restoring electricity after technical issues at the Mayfair substation, which has delayed the restoration of power to essential services. Netcare Garden City Hospital remains affected, along with residents and businesses in Auckland Park. City Power reported that repairs at the Hursthill substation are 95% complete. SABC broadcasting operations have resumed normal operations despite ongoing supply challenges.\n\nIn Ekurhuleni, 24 employees were hospitalized following an ammonia leak at the Festive Chicken facility. The leak occurred due to a malfunctioning pressure-release valve during routine maintenance, causing respiratory distress among the workers. Emergency services transported all 24 employees to nearby hospitals for treatment, and ammonia levels have since returned to zero.",
