Which part of Roodepoort the update covers
The confirmation applies to the Horizon View outage that City Power reported earlier that morning. A separate notice named Florida Glen, Quellerina and North Cliff. City Power’s notices did not link the two reports, so the Horizon View confirmation does not tell residents in those three areas whether their own supply has returned.
