Cooking, heating and working on gas in Mahikeng
Mahikeng is the provincial capital, close to the Botswana border and a long road trip from the main gas depots, so planning ahead matters. LPG comes in by road to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores in Mahikeng and Mmabatho, and cattle farms out towards Ottoshoop and Lichtenburg depend on delivery rounds that may not run every day. Government offices, schools and hospitals keep institutional kitchens going on 48 kg cylinders, and homes in Riviera Park and Golfview cook and heat water on gas. Winters are frosty and dry, so ventilate indoor heaters. Farms far out should keep a spare full cylinder and order before the last one runs low.
The requests we see from Mahikeng usually come from:
- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove or heater refilled every few weeks close to home
- Farms and smallholdings: farm cylinders taken in by bakkie and refilled together to save trips
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: takeaways and food trucks refilling several owned cylinders on one trip
