Building conditions in Witbank

eMalahleni sits on the Highveld coal belt, where summer thunderstorms bring hail and lightning, and winters are cold and frosty. Old underground coal workings affect some areas, so geotechnical checks are wise before building on unfamiliar ground, and clay soils in places expand and shrink with the seasons. Housing ranges from older suburban homes to newer estates and townhouse complexes built for mine and plant staff, and township areas such as Kwa-Guqa, where extensions and backyard rooms are common. eMalahleni Municipality approves building plans. Industrial work includes workshops, warehouses and maintenance on mining and plant sites around the town.
