City Power reports full restoration for customers on Masasa and Akere Street.
The operator attributes the interruption to a faulty cable and says it was reported on 13 October.
Exact onset, restoration time and customer count remain unknown; the statement concerns the two named streets.
Restoration reported for Masasa and Akere Street
The statement published at 19:19 SAST on 15 October confirms restoration for customers on the two named Robertsham streets. Its wording supports a restored status for this specific interruption. It does not establish the supply position at every address across Robertsham or in surrounding neighbourhoods.
The operator provides no affected customer total. A street-level restoration statement cannot be converted into a count of households, businesses or people. The current original statement spells the second street Akere; that spelling is retained here rather than treating an earlier different spelling as evidence of another affected street.

Faulty cable reported, precise duration unknown
City Power attributes the interruption to a faulty cable and says it was reported on 13 October. A reported date is different from an exact outage start. The original initial notice has not been reread, so the available evidence does not establish a uniform loss time for the affected connections.
The restoration statement’s publication time is also different from the actual switching or restoration time. The operator does not provide that precise time in the verified evidence. It would therefore be misleading to calculate a fixed outage duration from the reported date and the later statement alone. The restoration claim remains attributed to City Power.
