Mthatha notes on chairs
Village funerals around Libode, Mqanduli and Qunu often need several hundred plastic chairs, set out under the tent and across the yard for mourners who travel in from the cities. Churches in Mthatha and Ngcobo book the same stock for conferences and Easter gatherings. Weddings and graduation parties in town ask for Tiffany chairs, and stacking chairs back properly after the event avoids breakage charges on a long trip home.
Mthatha: the events, the weather and the hire firms
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.
Typical ghost chair hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: clear chairs for the family at an indoor memorial in a small chapel
- Schools, colleges and universities: a matric farewell with a glam theme or a graduation cocktail evening
