  GWAKWANI, SOUTH AFRICASouth Africa is the African continents most advanced nation -- yet an estimated 3 million of its residents live without electricity. The government says its working to improve its infrastructure to reach those people -- many of them in remote areas -- but it is simultaneously struggling to provide enough power for its growing urban population. In a remote South African village - actually called armpit in the local language - electricity is available for the first time in 2014.

  Wilson Tshitande has lived in the remote village of Gwakwani for as long as he can remember. He boasts that he knows every stick, every rock and every plant in this settlement of less than 100 people.

  But one thing the 70-year-old never thought he would see has finally come to this village in South Africas largely rural Limpopo province: electricity.

  In the local Venda language, the name Gwakwani literally means armpit. Its so named because its wedged under the nearest river and other important landmarks. But perhaps, residents say, the villages modesty has also led to their being overlooked in their request for electricity.

  We have been expecting that there would be electricity, but since we are poor we have nothing. So weve just been hoping that someday something would happen, said Tshitande.
