Anyone who is planning on moving to Witbank should know that there is too much air pollution due to mines mining coal, however there are plenty vacancies for individuals who do engineering as profession. Although it’s a small city, the crime rate is high and so is drug abuse by the youth.

Emalahleni, loosely translated to English means “City of Coal”. The city thrives due to the mining companies in and around it. The coal mining industry employs 40% of the city’s population.
