City Power reported full restoration to Eagle Canyon Golf Estate on 8 October.
The operator attributed the disruption to sagging overhead lines.
The exact outage onset, restoration minute and affected connection count remain unknown.
What the restoration notice establishes
The operator’s 8 October evening statement names Eagle Canyon Golf Estate as the area where power had been fully restored. Its account links the disruption to sagging overhead lines. Both the cause and restoration are attributed to City Power: the checked record does not include an independent survey confirming supply at each address. The notice supplies a reported outcome for the estate, without a connection-by-connection account.
The publication time is 20:58 SAST, equivalent to 18:58 UTC. That timestamp records when the statement was posted, rather than the exact minute electricity returned. City Power said the disruption had been reported on 8 October. The precise onset and any switching or restoration times remain unspecified, so the evidence does not support a total outage duration.

The estate boundary and remaining uncertainty
The verified scope is Eagle Canyon Golf Estate. The record also names Christiaan De Wet Substation as supply context, but the estate’s restoration announcement does not establish the position across every area served by that substation. It provides no affected customer or connection total. The relationship to a Honeydew interruption remains unresolved; restoration at Eagle Canyon must not be extended to Honeydew or Johannesburg as a whole.
The latest supported restoration statement in this record is the one dated 8 October. A later editorial check or the absence of a newer notice does not establish present conditions at an individual property. Equally, older evidence alone is no reason to reverse the recorded restoration. Any future incident or local exception would need its own attributable evidence before changing this account.
Planning for a future interruption
