Where e-waste comes from in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape is the largest province by area, with iron ore, manganese and diamond mines around Kathu, Kuruman and Kimberley that retire control equipment, radios and IT. Many of South Africa's solar and wind farms have been built here, producing damaged panels, inverters and batteries. Kimberley hosts provincial government departments and a university, and the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope site lies near Carnarvon. Long distances mean collections are usually planned in bulk.
