TimesLive reports that passenger trains in Cape Town were delayed by a power outage at the Metrorail control centre on Thursday morning.  

Metrorail and Transnet technicians managed to restore power at the ageing control centre, but a Metrorail spokesperson said train traffic was still backed up.  Metrorail posted on social media that because of the outage they could not automatically monitor train traffic and that updates could not be provided as usual.
