What to know locally in Eastern Cape
Plastic chairs go out in big numbers to Motherwell, KwaZakhele, Mdantsane and the villages around Mthatha for funerals, unveilings and umgidi. Coastal wedding venues near Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and the Wild Coast hotels prefer Wimbledon and cross back chairs on lawns. Makhanda's school halls hire folding chairs for prize-givings and festival shows. In wind, light resin chairs tip easily, so ask for heavy duty plastic or timber outdoors.
Chairs, tables and tents in Eastern Cape
Ask a firm that has hauled a tent to a homestead outside Mthatha and they will tell you the road matters as much as the tent. Rural ceremonies, umgidi celebrations for returning initiates, funerals and church gatherings take a large share of bookings across the former Transkei and Ciskei, often at homesteads reached by gravel. In the metros, Gqeberha and East London firms handle weddings, corporate functions and matric farewells, while Makhanda's arts festival and university events lift demand in town for a few weeks a year.
