Pretoria: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Government functions shape the hire calendar in Pretoria. National and provincial departments, the metro and the embassies book marquees, conference chairs and draped tables for imbizos, launches and commemorations, usually through a written quote request with a closing date and an order number. Graduation weeks at the University of Pretoria and Tshwane University of Technology add tents and chair rows on campus, and church bazaars and school fêtes fill the eastern suburbs. Funerals in Mamelodi, Atteridgeville and Soshanguve keep township tent firms busy on Fridays and Saturdays. Many larger hire firms run from Silverton, Pretoria West and Rosslyn. Summer storms build fast over the ridges in the afternoon, so ask for sides and a weighted frame on paving.
