Chairs, tables and tents in Newcastle
In northern KwaZulu-Natal, funerals are the backbone of the hire trade. Madadeni, Osizweni and Blaauwbosch hold large family funerals and after-tears most weekends, and churches across the area run revivals and conferences that need hundreds of plastic chairs and a big tent. The steel and textile works add corporate functions, and schools book matric farewells and prize-givings. Weddings take place at farm venues towards Utrecht and Memel and in town gardens. Most hire firms are based in Newcastle itself and in the townships, and they also cover Dannhauser, Utrecht and the farms. The climate swings hard: summer thunderstorms with hail, and winter mornings with frost, so ask for tent sides from May to August.
Typical wheelchair hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, memorials and unveilings: a chair for an elder at the service, the graveside and the after-tears
- Weddings and engagements: a day chair for an elderly guest who cannot manage the walk to the ceremony
- Schools, colleges and universities: a learner or staff member on crutches who needs a chair for exams or a prize-giving
