Rustenburg: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Rustenburg sits in the heart of the platinum belt, and the mining economy shapes who asks for backup power. The Rustenburg Local Municipality supplies most of the town and suburbs, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies some villages, mine land and rural areas directly. Outages come from cable theft, local network faults and the hard summer thunderstorms of the Bushveld edge. Mine contractors, shift workers and small businesses on the Waterval and Bester Street side of town want reliable power for offices, tills and fridges. Families in Cashan and Safari Gardens back up lights, wifi and the gate. Battery theft is a concern, so keep the bank locked indoors.
