2nd 22KV_D431-D438 Deviation Line_Gugulethu Colliery

RFR Electrical intends to construct the power line for Gululethu Colliery on the above-mentioned project. The power line will include a new 1177M MV, which will T-off from the existing power line in pole number D432 (refer to the Span plan sheets and the Pegging Coordinates for more information) traversing on the Rem Ext portion 10 farm of De Witte Krans 218-IS in Msukaligwa Local Municipality of Gert Sibande District Municipality of the Limpopo Province.
Environmental Screening of the power line route was conducted during pegging of the power line route by the Survey team, leading to the generation of the servitude planning documents [Distribution Environmental Screening Document (DESD), Wayleave, Span plan, and Pegging coordinates attached for your reference]. Heritage resources such as properly fenced-off graveyards were not observed on-site, see 6.3 of the DESD. The project is within the mining area that is already disturbed by current land use activities such as the existing roads, existing power lines, opencast mining, and Property boundary fence. Given the observation that the area is already disturbed, RFR Electrical hereby notifies SAHRA of the proposed construction of the power line which is more than 300M in length. However, should any of the heritage resources, including graves or human remains be encountered or discovered during construction, RFR Electrical shall immediately cease construction, inform the SAHRA office, and other relevant Department and as soon as possible contract a professional archaeologist to inspect the findings and conduct an investigation as prescribed by the Act
