Welkom: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Welkom is a gold field town in the middle of the maize belt, with mine shafts, mine hostels and planned suburbs laid out around traffic circles. The Matjhabeng Local Municipality supplies the town, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies some mines, farms and areas directly. Ageing infrastructure in parts of the network, cable theft and storm damage are behind many outages. With so many households on fixed incomes, plug-in options such as router UPS units, trolleys and rechargeable lights are common first purchases. Families in Riebeeckstad and Flamingo Park want lights, wifi and the gate covered, and farms out towards Odendaalsrus and Hennenman ask about pumps and fences. Lightning season needs surge protection.
