What to know locally in Polokwane
Engineering and mining supply firms in Ladanna and the Polokwane industrial area rent argon, oxygen and acetylene to workshops and contractors working the mines in the region. Distribution yards along the N1 run LPG forklifts on an exchange cage. In hot weather, hoses in Seshego and Westenburg yards dry out and crack, so test joints with soapy water and replace any hose that has gone hard.
Gas in Polokwane
Polokwane is the capital of Limpopo and a stop on the N1 north, with hot summers and dry, mild winters that can still turn cold at night. Gas here is mostly for cooking, hot water and business. Takeaways and restaurants in the CBD and along Thabo Mbeki Street, guest houses that serve N1 travellers, and homes in Bendor, Flora Park and Seshego run on LPG. Cylinders arrive by road on the N1 to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and delivery reaches game farms and lodges in the district. The summer heat is the main caution: keep cylinders upright in the shade, never in a parked car, and check hoses that dry out and crack in the sun.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Homeowners: a double cage on the side wall for the cylinders feeding the geyser and stove
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: a large padlocked cage at the back door for the kitchen's bank of 48 kg cylinders
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: small cages at each chalet and a larger one beside the main kitchen
