Secunda: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Secunda grew up as a planned town around a huge fuels and chemicals complex, and many residents are shift workers and contractors who need power for sleep, work laptops and alarms at odd hours. Electricity is supplied through the Govan Mbeki Local Municipality, which buys from Eskom, with Eskom feeding some outlying and rural areas directly. Network faults, cable theft and storm damage cause outages in parts of the area. Shift households in Secunda and Trichardt back up lights, wifi, the fridge and a fan or heater by the bed.
