Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the funding of rural electrification in Venda. Venda is an area which is mostly rural, with less than 5% of the population staying in an urban area. About 12% of the rural population has electricity, i.e.only 9689 households have electricity, whereas 99,9% of urban dwellers have electricity. Venda Electricity Corporation claims most of these villages are far from the grid, hence it is costly to electrify these areas. It is therefore hoped that the findings of this study would have helped in establishing the extent of electrification and identifying the sources of capital for electrification in Venda.
