Cabling conditions in Klerksdorp

Klerksdorp anchors the City of Matlosana, an area built on gold mining and maize farming. Deep-level mines around Orkney and Stilfontein need trailing cable, armoured feeders and maintenance contractors, while older mining towns face cable theft and infrastructure decline. Surrounding farms rely on long underground cable to centre pivots, boreholes and grain silos. Hot summers with frequent lightning and cold winters affect both farm and town wiring. Many older homes in Wilkoppies and the central suburbs need rewiring and new DB boards, and solar is becoming common on homes, shops and farm buildings to reduce reliance on the municipal supply.
