Power in Mahikeng

The Mahikeng Local Municipality supplies parts of the town, while Eskom supplies many villages, farms and other areas directly. Long rural lines, summer storms with lightning, cable theft and local faults all cause outages. Public servants and families in Golfview and Riviera Park back up lights, wifi and the fridge. Small shops and spaza owners want fridges and card machines covered, and cattle farms ask about borehole pumps and electric fences. Hot, dry summers mean batteries should not sit in a tin shed.
