Eastern Cape on the road
The Eastern Cape is big and varied, from busy port cities to quiet rural roads. Gqeberha and East London are motor manufacturing centres, so car carriers, parts trucks and dealership stock move on the N2 between them. The N2 also runs through Makhanda and Mthatha towards KwaZulu-Natal, and the Wild Coast stretch is known for livestock on the road and potholes. The N6 links East London to Queenstown and Bloemfontein, and the N9 and N10 cross the Karoo past Graaff-Reinet and Cradock. Coastal wind and rain, mist in the Amathole hills and Karoo heat all affect drivers. Surfers at Jeffreys Bay, farmers in the Karoo and families on holiday all need tows and trailers.
