Workshops in the Riverside industrial area and Rocky Drift rent argon mixes, oxygen and acetylene for fabrication and farm repairs. Packhouses near Karino and White River run LPG forklifts on an exchange cage in the season, and party shops in town hire helium for weddings at lodges.
Mbombela: the supply, the weather and the buildings
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. Summer heat and storms are the cautions: keep cylinders out of direct afternoon sun, never leave one in a hot car and stand them upright.
