Cabling conditions in Roodepoort

Roodepoort on the West Rand is mostly residential, with older homes around Florida and Discovery and newer estates in Weltevreden Park, Little Falls and Ruimsig. Houses on the rocky ridges are especially exposed to Highveld lightning, so surge arrestors and sound earthing are frequent requests after storm damage. Owners renovating older properties often need rewiring and a new DB board before a COC can be issued. Light industrial areas around Laser Park and Honeydew need three-phase supplies and workshop wiring. Smallholdings towards Muldersdrift have long cable runs to pumps and outbuildings, where cable theft is a known risk, and solar backup is now common.
