Cooking, heating and working on gas in Mbombela
Mbombela is warm almost all year with hot, humid summers, so gas here is about cooking, hot water and the braai rather than heating. Many homes in Sonheuwel, West Acres and Riverside Park run a gas stove or a tankless geyser, and lodges and guest houses towards White River and Hazyview cook and heat water on 48 kg cylinders or a bulk tank. LPG comes in by road along the N4 to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores. Citrus and macadamia farms around Karino and Rocky Drift often run the farmhouse on gas.
