The City Power statement was published at 16:13:07 South African Standard Time on 3 November, equivalent to 14:13:07 UTC. That is the publication time of the update. It is not a timestamp for completion of the restoration work, and it cannot establish the duration of the interruption.
Full restoration is the utility’s reported status for customers in Industria. The available evidence does not include an independent check of electricity at individual addresses. The report supports an attributed restoration update for the named area, rather than a claim that all electricity faults across Johannesburg have been resolved.

Cable fault reported that morning
City Power describes a cable-fault interruption reported on the morning of 3 November. The morning reporting window does not establish the exact physical start of the outage. No affected connection total or street-by-street boundary is supplied, so the scale cannot be converted into a number of households or people.
The available evidence does not establish a relationship between this interruption and earlier Industria faults reported in October. Those events are not combined here. Unrelated replies to an operator notice also do not establish additional affected areas or a recurrence after the restoration statement.
Keep preparation separate from the restoration report
For future interruptions, the grid-down essentials guide, internet backup guide and runtime calculator explain essential loads and backup planning. These resources do not verify electricity at a particular address. The latest supported status for this incident remains City Power’s full-restoration statement; an additional local fault would need its own evidence.
