Kimberley: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Kimberley is a long way from the next big city, and that distance changes how backup power works here. Sol Plaatje Municipality supplies the city and buys bulk from Eskom, and in parts of the older municipal network faults, ageing equipment and cable theft cause outages that can take time to fix. Summers are very hot and dry, with sudden thunderstorms and lightning, and winters bring cold nights. Homes in Hadison Park and Royldene back up lights, wifi, fans and the gate. Government offices, clinics and shops want UPS and inverters for computers, fridges and card machines. Keep batteries in a cool, shaded room, and keep spares in mind, since stock may come from further afield.
