Overview
3About Phola
Phola is a small coal-belt town in Mpumalanga, just up the road from Emalahleni and Witbank via the N12 or R544. Locals commute daily to Leslie and Zithobeni, while longer trips to Sebokeng, Tokoza and even Bethlehem show family and work ties reaching across provinces. There's only one fast EV charger nearby, so plan your stops. Fun fact: Phola grew up right alongside the collieries that still ring the town today.
