What City Power reported
The notice confirms an interruption affecting Victory Park. City Power did not list affected streets or give a customer count, so the notice cannot establish whether every street in the suburb is affected. A resident cannot use it to tell whether supply is off at a particular home or business.
The notice went out at 01:29 SAST on 15 November, corresponding to 23:29 UTC on 14 November. Those are two ways of giving the publication time of the same notice. City Power did not say when the outage began, so the time of the post cannot be used to calculate how long the power has been off.
