Cooking, heating and working on gas in Mthatha
Mthatha is the main town of the former Transkei, a regional centre on the N2 that serves a wide spread of rural villages. LPG comes in by road over long distances, and is sold by dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and spaza-style outlets, with many families buying smaller cylinders for cooking where electricity is unreliable or absent. Winters inland get cold, so gas heaters are common, and schools, clinics, guest houses and takeaways in town use gas for cooking. Distances mean delivery runs on set days, and stock can run short in winter. Never use a heater in a closed room overnight, and keep cylinders upright and out of the sun.
Typical 48 kg gas cylinders requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: two cylinders on a changeover feeding a tankless geyser and the kitchen stove
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: restaurant ranges and fryers on a pair swapped weekly by the dealer
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: guest house geysers and kitchens with a reserve cylinder always standing ready
