Power lines from the Duvha Power Station cross above a group of jobless workers waiting for a weekly load of free coal from a nearby mine from the coal dust covered and power line pollution exposed Masakhane settlement on February 5, 2015 in Emalahleni. The settlement, mainly consisting of migrant workers who converged to the coal rich Witbank region in search of job opportunities, has no access to the electricity grid, despite being only two kilometres away from the Duvha power station belonging to the embattled South African sole energy provider Eskom, and despite being criss crossed by high tension power lines.
