What gets painted in Mahikeng
Mahikeng is the capital of the North West, and a good share of painting work here comes from government buildings, offices, schools, clinics and the university campus in Mmabatho. Around them are older town houses near the historic centre, 1980s homes and flats in Mmabatho, and growing areas of RDP houses and self built homes in Montshiwa and Lomanyaneng. The climate is hot and dry for much of the year, with strong sun that fades colour and dries paint fast, and summer thunderstorms with some hail. Dust settles on walls and roofs. Government departments, contractors on public tenders, landlords and families extending their homes ask for painters and paint most.

- Schools, churches and public buildings: durable washable paint for school passages and clinic walls, quoted on a list
- Homeowners: a few tins tinted for a lounge or bedroom, with advice on the right primer
