Despite the villagers appeals to the municipality, the power lines stop at the next village over.

　　Local ward councilor Rabelani Gadabeni said the power utility and municipality dont have the budget to bring the lines to Gwakwani. Instead, electricity is coming through a private initiative led by the University of Johannesburg.

　　We see that that thing, it will take time. So that if we even happen to engage with the University of Johannesburg so that if maybe they can do a solar project, it will help our people faster than when we have to budget for the main line, said Gadabeni.

　　A team from the universitys electrical engineering department recently travelled 800 kilometers to the village to install solar panels donated by a local business.

　　Engineering lecturer M. Hove helped the university choose the village.

　　There are a number of these communities that are needy. But we found this village as the most needy. As I often say, I call it the forgotten village, said Hove.

　　The small amount of power generated by the solar panels will initially fuel a water pump that until now has run on diesel fuel. Hove said that is just the start of the project -- the next phase will include more improvements.

　　Godfrey Nefuluphudwe has operated the aging pump for four years. He travels once a month to the nearest town to buy the diesel fuel.
