City Power will restore electricity supply to the affected parts of the Johannesburg CBD by 5 October 2026.
“City Power Says electricity supply to parts of the CBD should be restored by Monday.”

The verdict· graded 06 Oct
By 2026-10-05, City Power had restored about 65% of electricity supply to customers affected in Johannesburg’s central business district, and full restoration was targeted for 2026-10-08.
The prediction said supply would be restored by 5 October 2026, but the dated 2026-10-05 passage says only about 65% had been restored and that full restoration was now targeted for 8 October. That means the by-5-October outcome did not happen.
