In 20 seconds
City Power reports a renewed interruption minutes after full restoration.
Operators remain on site investigating the cause of the repeat trip.
The current footprint, affected total and restoration deadline have not been established.
Full restoration followed by another trip
The latest operator statement changes the picture from the partial restoration reported earlier that morning. City Power now says supply was fully restored before it tripped again a few minutes later. That sequence does not establish stable supply across Klipfontein View. The utility does not specify the exact switching times for either the full restoration or the renewed interruption.
The earlier notice named Central, Extension 02 and part of Extension 03 as restored, while Extension 01 and another part of Extension 03 remained affected. Those names describe the earlier stage of the incident. The repeat-trip statement does not provide an updated extension-by-extension breakdown, so the earlier list cannot be used as a verified map of the current interruption.

Cause under investigation; no deadline stated
City Power says operators remain on site investigating the cause of the renewed interruption. The statement does not identify a failed component or feeder, confirm a completed repair or predict when customers will have electricity again. A return of supply followed by another trip leaves the outcome of the investigation unresolved.
The latest post was published at 11:26:26 SAST on 21 October, equivalent to 09:26:26 UTC. That is the publication time, rather than the time of either switching event. No current percentage or customer count is verified. The earlier reference to a remaining 40% did not define its denominator and no longer describes the latest reported sequence. A technical relationship with older Klipfontein incidents remains unknown.
