Mthatha notes on tools & supplies
Paint shops and hardware stores in central Mthatha and along the main routes to Libode and Ngcobo stock PVA, exterior acrylic, roof paint and metal primers, but some speciality coatings and spray equipment may need to be ordered from East London. Families building in rural areas often buy brushes, rollers, trays and a 20 litre tin at once for a whole house. Ask whether the shop can tint colours on site.
What gets painted in Mthatha
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.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Homeowners: a few tins tinted for a lounge or bedroom, with advice on the right primer
- Schools, churches and public buildings: durable washable paint for school passages and clinic walls, quoted on a list
- Builders and developers: pallets of contractor-grade paint delivered to site on a trade account
