We went to Lethabo Power station somewhere around Vereeneging for a day tour. I saw many fascinating stuff such as boilers, generators and turbines, it was a great experience for all of us. They said that it took about 10years to build a powerstation and they completed the station in 1990. They use coal for the station because its cheap and it was the nearest coal mine they could find.
Coal is used to burn water which changes into steam, the steam turns the turbine blades, the turbine blades turns the generator then the generates electricity.

Today wasn't that busy, we had to change a day night light switch at the caravan park which we changed a week ago, maybe it was because it wasn't of high quality(cheap).
There still is another light which isn't working next to the tuck-shop but our supervisor said that we'll fix it the coming week. We came up with an idea of moving it to a tree next to the pole the light was installed because that pole is old and it can collapse any time but he said that he must ask his seniors first.
