eMbalenhle

eMbalenhle lies on the Mpumalanga Highveld, just outside Secunda, and started out as a township for workers at Sasol's massive coal-to-liquid plant, still the area's biggest employer today. The N17 gets you here from Joburg or Swaziland, while the R580 and R546 handle quick runs to Evander, Kinross, and Secunda. Secunda Airport (ZEC) is only 17 km off, handy for business flyers. About 2 fast EV chargers nearby help with longer trips, like the haul from KwaZulu-Natal.
