New poles for Northam

Northam – On Tuesday 29 August Eskom replaced the rotten electricity cable poles in Northam extension 6.

Eskom has also replaced the fuses on the electricity lines. This action was welcomed by the community. Amanda Mpuane commented to the Platinum Bushvelder newspaper:  “I honestly don’t mind going without electricity today.” The poles and fuses were replaced to prevent shortcuts and to make it safer for the community.
