Mthatha: the supply, the weather and the buildings
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.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Homeowners: large houses or smallholdings where cylinder changes have become a weekly chore
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: busy restaurants, hotels and canteens that never want a cylinder change mid service
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: lodges and hotels heating water for many rooms from one tank
