Thursday morning around 05:45 we gathered as a group waiting for our transport to take us to Lethabo Power Station.We departed from Bela-Bela township at around 06:40 under the supervision of Mr Lucas and Mr Reinecke.Before our arrival to Lethabo we had a long journey.
On our arrival Mr Daan le Roux gave us a great welcome introducing himself nor his colleaque for us to sattle.The journey was a of great exposure because it was totaly different compared to what I had in mind,in fact I thought power stations would consist of so many employee keeping busy at all times, but no only 2 people could managed it due to the control panel.Before our visit to the side we were asked questions based on electricity as a search to hear what we basically knowor do at Sondela.However how they did their questioning we answered as we were taught.Further more as we all know every premises compose of safety rule,Mr Daan le Roux showed us a DVD teaching us everything about their safety before site visit.
After learning their safety procedures,he gave us safety helmets and safety ear plugs made of speakers to hear him when talking to us on the mic.
Further more I have learned that Lethabo power station consist of 6 unit (turbine) in which each of them generate a maximum of 618MW everyday.I admired the fact that they use a separate power from a generator and supply everything they generate to the sub stations.
