Chairs, tables and tents in Mthatha
Distance defines hire in Mthatha. The town is the supply base for a huge rural area, and most bookings are for funerals, umgidi homecomings, traditional ceremonies and weddings at homesteads in villages around Libode, Mqanduli, Ngcobo and Tsolo. A funeral may need a large tent, hundreds of plastic chairs and catering tables delivered over gravel roads before the weekend. In town, the university, schools and government offices add graduations, prize-givings and imbizos. Hire firms are based in Mthatha and charge transport by distance, and some families collect smaller orders by bakkie or trailer. Hilly ground, summer thunderstorms and cold winter nights are the usual cautions, and wet roads can delay a delivery to a village.

- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: plain white or black covers on plastic chairs for the service in the tent
- Families and home celebrations: a 21st, a 50th or a lobola lunch where plastic chairs need dressing up
