City Power reports full restoration for the named Stafford and Trojan outage.
The interruption was reported on the night of 10 October; its exact onset is unknown.
The operator describes a consumer fault, without giving a connection count or switching time.
Restoration announced on 11 October
The operator published its restoration announcement at 10:18 SAST on 11 October. That is the time of the notice, rather than a confirmed time when supply was switched back on. City Power says full supply has been restored at Wemmer Substation and names Stafford and Trojan as the affected areas. The update supplies a restoration statement for that reported event, without an address-by-address account.
The notice says the outage was reported the previous night, 10 October. It gives no exact start time or reporting clock. The length of the interruption therefore cannot be calculated from these two dates. The announcement also supplies no affected customer or connection total, so there is no supported numerical measure of the outage’s scale.

Consumer fault is the operator’s description
City Power attributes this interruption to a consumer fault. The available announcement does not explain the equipment involved or provide an independent technical diagnosis. That wording is retained as the operator’s attribution. It does not establish who was responsible or provide enough detail to describe a repair procedure.
This Stafford and Trojan report is kept separate from the earlier Wemmer and Kenilworth cable-fault event. A shared substation name does not establish that the interruptions were the same incident. The relationship with other bulletin material also remains unresolved. The restoration statement is limited to the named event; it does not establish supply conditions across Johannesburg or confirm the status of every individual property.
