The Enyokeni substation will have the capacity to support about 15 000 new connections. This is part of the Department of Energy and Eskom’s plans to focus on rural development, which deals with electrification backlogs in provinces such as KwaZulu-Natal.
Over 9 200 new connections were completed in KwaNongoma over last three financial years. Most of the substations and connecting lines in the area are now complete or nearly complete.
Eskom urged the people of KwaNongoma to look after their assets and electricity, and guard against vandalism.
As part of the electrification project, the President visited three houses in the area to see for himself the change that electricity has made in the lives of people in the area.
