Radio Miraya’s Community Conversations Hot Talk was hosted by Moyo Jacob Felix and Viola Elias, focusing on a major milestone in Eastern Equatoria State: Nimule town receiving electricity for the first time, with power imported from Uganda. The hosts were joined in the studio by Joseph Gama, Chairperson of the Madi Community, and online by Caesar Longa, Mayor of Nimule Municipality. The discussion highlighted how the cross-border power project, implemented through an agreement involving the South Sudan Electricity Corporation and managed locally by Connex Energy Company Limited, is already connecting customers and aims to reach about 1,000 households, with plans for streetlights along key routes. Guests explained expected benefits such as longer business hours, lower costs compared to generators, better study conditions for children, improved health and security, and new jobs for locals, while also noting challenges like access roads, demarcation, safety awareness, affordability for some households, and preventing illegal connections and vandalism, as listeners called in with questions about responsibility, payment, and possible expansion to other areas.
