Mbombela on the road
Mbombela is the Lowveld's capital and a stop on the N4 Maputo Corridor, the freight route between Gauteng and Mozambique. Trucks heading to and from the border at Komatipoort break down on the long climbs, and the escarpment section west of town, near Schoemanskloof and Montrose, can be steep and winding. Holiday traffic toward the Kruger National Park, Hazyview and White River brings caravans, boat trailers and motorbikes. Tourist cars break down on the R40, and 4x4s need recovery on the mountain tracks near Kaapschehoop and the Long Tom Pass toward Lydenburg. Winter mist on the escarpment and heavy summer rain with thunderstorms make passes slippery. Requests come from tourists, citrus and timber farms, freight fleets and townspeople.
