Noordgesig sits at the very northernmost edge of Soweto — also known locally as “Bulte,” meaning hills, for the mine dumps visible from just about everywhere in the area. Established in 1940, it’s one of the oldest townships in greater Soweto.
A community shaped by removal and remembered through art
Following the 1950 Group Areas Act, Noordgesig was consolidated with Newclare into an area designated for Coloured residents, many of whom had been forcibly moved from Sophiatown and Vrededorp. That history is told today through street art, murals and shop signage across the suburb — a genuine, community-led way of preserving and sharing local history that’s become part of Noordgesig’s visible identity. The suburb’s age and strong sense of community continuity set it apart even within Soweto’s own long history.
DStv installation in Noordgesig
Noordgesig’s older, established homes get a standard single-view install — 60cm dish, Smart LNB, RG6 cabling — with mounting approach assessed individually per property given how long some of this housing stock has stood. We check existing infrastructure carefully before assuming what’s already in place.
Signal repairs and equipment
Noordgesig follows the standard Highveld rain-fade pattern, with ageing infrastructure on the suburb’s older homes the most common cause of gradual signal decline. Standard equipment is a 60cm dish and Smart LNB with RG6 cabling.
