In 20 seconds
City Power reports full restoration from 4th to 8th Avenue between London Road and Roosevelt Road.
The operator says no fault was found; a technical cause is not confirmed.
Exact onset, affected customer total and individual switching times remain unknown.
Restoration announced for the named corridor
The final notice follows an investigation update published at 19:58 SAST. In that earlier statement, City Power said operators were on site continuing investigations into an outage reported that morning. The subsequent notice announces full restoration for the same avenue and road boundaries. The announcement time does not establish the exact moment when electricity returned at each property.
The statement that no fault was found is City Power’s reported finding. It does not provide a confirmed technical cause for the interruption, and this report does not infer one. Both notices come from the same operator: they are a sequence of primary updates, rather than two independent engineering assessments. No affected customer total was provided.

Keep the avenue boundaries attached to the update
This report concerns the 4th-to-8th Avenue corridor between London Road and Roosevelt Road. The separate 13th-to-17th Avenue event is outside that scope. The relationship to an older Alexandra record from 8 October remains unresolved, so the newer restoration announcement cannot be used to merge those records or establish recovery for other parts of Alexandra.
The recorded facts leave the exact outage onset and individual address status unknown. The earlier notice dates the report to the morning of 11 October; it does not give a precise start time. The latest operator statement supports a restoration report for the named area, while the absence of a customer count prevents any calculation of affected households or people.
