Alberton: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Alberton has a strong church and family culture, and much of its hire work comes from that: church bazaars and youth camps, prize-givings at the Afrikaans and English high schools, 21sts and kitchen teas in Brackenhurst, Randhart and New Redruth, and weddings on the estates of Meyersdal. Thokoza and the nearby parts of Katlehong add a steady flow of funerals, unveilings and after-tears. Alrode, one of the main industrial areas south of Johannesburg, is where many firms keep trucks and stock, so transport within Alberton is usually short. The Meyersdal ridge is steep and rocky in places, which affects pegging and long carries from the truck. Summer storms can roll in quickly in the afternoon.
The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:
- Churches and faith gatherings: a large tent on an open field for a crusade, revival or Easter gathering
- Families and home celebrations: a tent in the yard for a lobola, an umembeso, a 21st or a family reunion
- Schools, colleges and universities: tents on the sports field for a sports day, a fete or a prize-giving
