What to know locally in Mthatha

Schools, clinics and churches in town usually want a written scope and a price per m² for walls, roofs and gutters. Ask for travel costs to be shown separately.
Mthatha walls, roofs and weather
Mthatha is a hilly town at the centre of a wide rural area, and painting here covers town buildings and homesteads alike. In town there are government offices, schools, clinics, churches and older plastered houses in suburbs such as Northcrest and Southernwood. Outside town, many families build plastered block houses next to traditional round homes with thatch roofs, and these new walls are often painted in bright colours after the plaster has cured. Summer thunderstorms and hill mist keep walls damp for days, so mould and peeling on south facing walls are common. Families building at home, churches, schools, small shop owners and government departments ask for painters, roof paint and supplies most.
