The City of Cape Town connected 214 homes in the Masakhane informal settlement to the electricity grid, improving living conditions for thousands of residents. The R1,8 million project is part of a broader effort that has connected over 2 234 homes in Nomzamo since the 2018-’19 financial year. The project aims to enhance safety and provide essential services. The City has electrified nearly 100% of informal settlements in City-supplied areas where feasible. The initiative not only provides electricity, but also aims to transform lives, reduce fire risks and decrease illegal electrical connections. Pictured with Alderman Xanthea Limberg, Mayoral Committee member for Energy, are Nomzamo beneficiary Andiswa Ngabase, Subcouncil 8 chairperson and Ward 85 councillor Chantal Cerfontein, and PR councillor Unathi Lasti.
