Cabling conditions in Witbank
eMalahleni lies at the centre of South Africa's coal and power belt. Collieries, coal-fired power stations and ferro-alloy and steel smelters need trailing cable, medium-voltage cable, armoured feeders and specialist maintenance. Mining contractors and shift workers have driven demand for new houses and complexes, which need full wiring and backup power. The municipality supplies the town, but ageing infrastructure, cable theft and outages are persistent problems, so many homes and businesses have added solar and generators. Highveld thunderstorms bring frequent lightning, and air pollution from industry can accelerate corrosion on exposed connections.

Typical 16mm electrical cable requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: mines use 16 mm² armoured cable for site offices, workshops and lighting boards
- Factories and workshops: factories feed small machines and sub-boards with 16mm four-core armoured cable
- Homeowners: homeowners run 16mm armoured cable from the meter kiosk to the main DB board
- Complexes and body corporates: body corporates replace undersized supplies to individual units with 16 mm² sub-mains
- Solar and backup power: installers connect larger inverters and changeover boards with 16 mm² cable
