Abstract
The aim ofthis study is to analyse the interrelationships among domestic energy needs,
the system of prepayment electrification and development as manifested in two lowincome
communities of the Cape Metropole, namely Wallacedene and Delft. The study
highlights the various dimensions of the following problem: Technological applications
such as prepayment systems of electrification (whereby payment precedes the supply
of electricity to users) can be rendered ineffective if it is not compatible with all the
conditions that shape the livelihoods of its target groups
