City Power identifies Moffat View and Moffat Substation; 26 October is the reported date, rather than a verified onset.
The operator now says the medium-voltage plugs have been replaced and power is fully restored.
The restoration statement was published on 28 October at 19:41 SAST; that is not an exact repair-completion time.
Replacement completed, according to City Power
City Power’s latest statement says medium-voltage plugs have been replaced and power is fully restored. This supersedes its earlier 28 October update, which said the plugs had been sourced, delivery to site was still pending and repairs would follow. Before that, the utility said it was sourcing the component needed to begin repairs. Those earlier messages describe the repair sequence rather than the current supply position.
The operator names Moffat View and Moffat Substation. The available statements do not provide a list of affected streets or a customer total. The restoration claim is attributed to City Power; it is not an independent supply check at every address. The local report does not establish a Johannesburg-wide interruption or a citywide restoration.

Report date and restoration statement remain distinct
City Power says the outage was reported on 26 October 2026. That date does not establish the precise moment power failed or show that every affected connection was continuously without electricity until the restoration statement. The latest post was published at 19:41 SAST on 28 October, corresponding to 17:41 UTC. It does not give a separate exact time when repairs finished or supply returned.
An earlier Steeledale outage was reported restored after a 22 October event. No technical link to this Moffat View event has been established. Separate resident complaints also remain unlinked, so they are not used to infer a continuous outage duration or widen the affected area. The Townsview resident reply likewise does not establish an extension of this incident.
Household backup planning after an interruption
For household preparation, the grid-down essentials guide helps organise essential devices and supplies. The runtime calculator compares selected device demand with battery capacity, while the internet backup guide covers connectivity planning. These resources do not verify whether electricity is available at a particular address. City Power’s dated statement remains the source for the restoration position described here.
