City Power reports full restoration to customers on the two named streets in Selby.
The statement identifies Central Substation without establishing the outage’s cause.
The report does not establish restoration across all of Selby or Booysens.
Two named streets in the restoration report
The operator’s statement is specific to Booysens Road and Rogers Street in Selby. Its full-restoration wording applies to the customers identified in that notice. It does not give street-number boundaries, a customer total or a count of affected homes and businesses. No numerical measure of the interruption’s scale is available.
The named streets should not be read as evidence that all of Selby or the wider Booysens area has recovered from every interruption. This is an attributed operator update, rather than an independent address-by-address electricity check. The notice supports reporting what City Power says about those customers while leaving the status of unrelated locations unresolved.
What the sources tell us, and what they do not

- Operator-reported status
- Full restoration; Central Substation identified
- Outage duration
- Unknown; onset and restoration instant unverified
What is known about timing and cause
The statement was published at 11:31:12 SAST on 25 October, equivalent to 09:31:12 UTC. This is the report’s publication time, not a verified outage onset or the exact instant of restoration. The available evidence therefore does not establish how long the named customers were without electricity.
City Power identifies Central Substation, but the checked statement does not explain the cause of the interruption. Continuity with older Central Substation or CBD incidents remains unresolved. Earlier reports cannot supply a start time, cause or affected count for this notice without evidence connecting the events. The current supported update is the operator’s report of full restoration on the two named streets.
