Cylinders, safety & special gases in Mthatha: local notes
Workshops in the Vulindlela industrial area rent welding gas for repairs, and building contractors on the N2 and R61 use oxygen and acetylene for cutting. Cylinder cages with a lock help in Ngangelizwe and Mbuqe yards where theft is a concern. Check hoses and regulators often, as old cracked hoses are a common cause of leaks on heaters and stoves.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Mthatha
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.
Typical helium gas for balloons requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a disposable kit for a child's birthday or a gender reveal at home
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: restaurants filling balloons for birthday tables and opening nights
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: wedding venues and lodges with a rented cylinder for receptions

Gas, cylinders and installations in Mthatha mostly come from here: the Mthatha CBD and Vulindlela industrial area, with dealers in the larger villages. The requests that come up most: 9 kg cylinders for cooking and heaters, and 48 kg cylinders for takeaways and lodges.
