Where e-waste comes from in Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga generates most of South Africa's coal-fired electricity, and its power stations, collieries and steel plants around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda retire large volumes of control equipment, cabling, batteries and IT. Mbombela is the provincial capital, with government departments, a university and hospitals replacing office computers. In the Lowveld, citrus farms, packhouses and lodges add appliances and electronics. Industrial sites and contractors are the main clients, often needing scheduled collections and certificates of destruction.
