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.
