Tables, tents & party hire in Mthatha: local notes
Peg and pole tents are the norm at rural homesteads, pegged on sloping ground beside the house, so describe the slope and any rock. Large funerals may need two tents side by side with a gutter between them for rain. Long trestle tables carry the catering and pots, and a few round tables with cloths suit the family table. Ask whether the firm sets up the tent and when it will collect.
