Full restoration reported after Eskom-side trip
City Power published the restoration announcement at 13:40:44 SAST on 2 November 2026, equivalent to 11:40:44 UTC. The statement names Austin View and says electricity supply has been fully restored after a trip on the Eskom side. The publication timestamp records the announcement; it is not a verified switching time for affected properties.
The earlier notice, published at 03:44:45 SAST on the same day, described a recent interruption affecting Austin View and said an Eskom team would attend in the morning. That was a response plan at the time. The later restoration statement advances the reported supply status without specifying the team’s arrival, individual repair operations or the underlying cause of the trip.

Area and timing limits remain
The available statements provide no affected-customer total or complete address footprint. They do not establish that every property in Austin View experienced the interruption, and the latest restoration report has not been independently audited at individual addresses. No wider Midrand restoration can be inferred from a notice naming Austin View.
The physical onset remains unknown, so announcement times cannot establish a measured outage duration. A Halfway House Extension 70 complaint and a new dispatch notice have no verified electrical relationship to this incident. Those reports cannot supply missing causes, durations or restoration boundaries for this Eskom-side trip. The reported trip does not establish a wider Midrand interruption or restoration.
