Where e-waste comes from in Witbank

eMalahleni, still commonly searched as Witbank, sits at the centre of South Africa's coalfields, surrounded by collieries, power stations and steel and vanadium processing plants. These sites retire control systems, cabling, radios, cap lamps and large battery banks during maintenance and upgrades. Mining contractors and engineering firms add workshop electronics and office IT, while schools, retail centres and households in the city contribute computers and appliances. Mines and power stations are the largest clients.
