What to know locally in Mthatha
Roadside help on the roads to Coffee Bay, Mqanduli and Libode often means a long drive on narrow tar and gravel, so give the operator clear directions and a landmark. Flat tyres from potholes and sharp stones are a common call. In the December and Easter holidays many families drive home from Gauteng and the Western Cape, and car transport or trailer hire to bring a broken car back is booked heavily then.
Mthatha on the road
Mthatha sits on the N2 where it crosses the old Transkei, and towing here often means long distances on hilly roads. The N2 carries trucks, long-distance buses and minibus taxis between East London and KwaZulu-Natal, and it passes right through the busy town centre, so breakdowns can block traffic quickly. The R61 towards Port St Johns and the roads to Coffee Bay and Mqanduli are steep and winding, with gravel stretches and livestock on the verge. Summer thunderstorms, mist in the hills and potholes after rain are common trouble. Families travelling home for holidays, taxi owners, government fleets and rural builders with bakkies and trailers are the people most likely to ask for help here.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Motorists and families: a family car sent ahead when moving province, or a student's car to campus
- Truckers, buses and logistics: spare light vehicles moved to a new depot on a long-distance route
- Municipalities, estates and schools: municipal and government vehicles delivered from the supplier to the depot
