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.
Hiring for events 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.

- Schools, colleges and universities: colour-matched cloths for a matric farewell or a prize-giving dinner
