Polokwane is Limpopo's commercial centre, a hot, dry place where summer heat is the main enemy of batteries and electronics. Polokwane Municipality supplies the city and many suburbs, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies many surrounding villages and farms directly. Summer storms with lightning, cable theft and faults on long rural lines interrupt power. Families in Bendor and Flora Park back up wifi, lights, fans and the gate. Retailers along Landdros Mare Street and wholesalers in Ladanna want tills, fridges and freezers covered.
