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 LPG gas supply requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove, or 48 kg cylinders outside for a gas geyser, hob and heaters
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: 48 kg cylinders on a changeover or a bulk tank for ranges, fryers and pizza ovens
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: gas for kitchens, geysers and patio heaters, delivered on a round to remote sites
