ABOUT THE BURSARY PROVIDER – EMALAHLENI LOCAL MUNICIPALITY

The Emalahleni Local Municipality consists of the towns of eMalahleni, Ga-Nala, Ogies, and Kwa-Guqa.
The town of eMalahleni, established in 1903, was named after a white rock located near a ridge at a railway station. This ridge was a stopping point for many wagons and transport, as well as a trading post during the time. To date, the town of eMalahleni has a number of heritage aspects, currently facing potential distraction from new developments.

Similarly, the Emalahleni Local Municipality’s name means “place of coal.”
Emalahleni is the most industialised municipal area within Nkangala (Mpumalanga) , with its landscape consisting of many underground and opencast coal mines. The area also has the largest number of power stations within the country, with its mining and industrial heritage showcased in its various heritage spots.
