Power for Johannesburg

Powerlines which used to feed the Johannesburg Grid with electricity from the Orlando Power Station. The station used to reduce the peak demand the city council had to purchase from ESKOM - the national power authority. Ironically many of those living near the power station did not have electricity - at least not prior to 1976. That only came later.
