Cabling conditions in Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga is home to most of South Africa's coal-fired power stations and many collieries, so the Highveld towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda use large quantities of mining, industrial and medium-voltage cable. The petrochemical complex at Secunda and steel and ferrochrome works add heavy industrial demand. Highveld storms are severe, with lightning and hail that make surge protection and earthing a priority. In the Lowveld around Mbombela and White River, the climate is warmer and wetter, with citrus and macadamia farms, lodges and growing suburbs. Solar uptake has risen across both regions, and cable theft is a persistent issue on mines and in towns.

Typical house wiring and rewiring requests in the area come from:

Mines and quarries: mine village houses are rewired in batches as part of housing maintenance programmes
Factories and workshops: staff housing and admin buildings on factory sites are rewired to current standards
Homeowners: older family homes are rewired with new surfix, plugs, light points and a modern DB board
Farms and smallholdings: farmhouses and workers' cottages are rewired where old cable has perished or been extended
Solar and backup power: homes adding inverters often rewire essential circuits onto a separate backup DB board
Municipal and public works: public housing and municipal buildings are rewired under maintenance and upgrade contracts
