Where e-waste comes from in Limpopo

Limpopo's e-waste comes largely from platinum, coal and diamond mines around Mokopane, Steelpoort and Lephalale, where control rooms, radios, cap lamps and batteries are replaced regularly. Lephalale is also home to the Medupi and Matimba power stations. Polokwane hosts provincial government departments, a university and regional hospitals that retire computers in batches, and farms in the Tzaneen and Musina areas use electronics in irrigation and packhouses. Long distances mean mines and departments often arrange bulk collections.
