Cabling conditions in Tzaneen

Tzaneen is surrounded by avocado, mango, citrus and banana farms, so irrigation and packhouse work dominate cable demand. Long underground feeds run from Eskom rural points of supply to pumps, cold rooms and grading lines, and voltage drop over these distances means cable must be sized carefully. The subtropical climate brings heavy summer rain, high humidity and frequent lightning, so sealed joints, surge protection and good earthing are essential. Termites and rodents can damage unprotected cable, making conduit and armoured cable common choices. Lodges and holiday homes near Haenertsburg and the Magoebaskloof add residential and hospitality work.
