Farmers in the Tsolo and Libode areas ask about recovery straps and winches for steep, muddy tracks, so buy rated shackles with them.
What breaks down and moves in Mthatha
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.
Typical tow bars requests in the area come from:
- Motorists and families: a detachable bar on the family car for a weekend trailer or bike rack
- Truckers, buses and logistics: tow bars on support bakkies that move spares trailers between depots
- Municipalities, estates and schools: tow bars on municipal bakkies that pull mowers, water carts and tool trailers
