Ladysmith: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Sitting on the N3 between Durban and Johannesburg, Ladysmith serves a wide spread of towns, farms and villages from a small base of hire firms. Ezakheni and Steadville bring most of the weekly work, with funerals, unveilings and church gatherings that need a tent and plastic chairs in the yard. Weddings happen in town gardens, at farm venues and at the Drakensberg resorts to the west, where couples want marquees and Tiffany or cross back chairs. Schools in town and Ezakheni add matric farewells and sports days. Stock usually comes from local firms, with larger jobs sometimes supplied from Pietermaritzburg. Summers are hot with storms, winters are cold, and mist and wind on the Van Reenen pass can slow deliveries.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a chair for an elder at the service, the graveside and the after-tears
- Families and home celebrations: a few weeks at home after an operation or a grandparent visiting for the holidays
- Churches and faith gatherings: chairs for elderly members at a church conference, pilgrimage or revival
