Taking down the tower at Kaphunga. Note the power line, two transmitter huts and fenced enclosures that had to worked around. Also note the vine climbing one of the guy wires all the way up to the tower!

Today we dismantled a tower located at the top of a 3,000 foot peak near Kaphunga.  By 11am it was loaded onto the truck for the two hour trip to a 4,550 foot  mountain peak about 8 miles west of Mankayane.  There we were able to get all but a 10 foot section of the tower up at the new site.  We had to stop because the sun was setting.  The drive down the rocky mountain road to Mankayane and on to Manzini in the dark took a little over an hour.

Tomorrow morning we plan to complete the job.  Thanks for your prayers and please continue praying for us as the tower gets topped off tomorrow.

The tower sections and gin pole are being loaded on the truck and the cables are being prepared to leave Kaphunga for the two hour trip to Mankayane.

The first section is in place and the gin pole has been secured to lift the second section into place at the mountain peak site west of Mankayane.

The second section being bolted onto the bottom section.
