Eastern Cape notes on towing
Car towing in Gqeberha comes from the N2 near Greenacres and the industrial areas of Struandale and Markman. In East London, tows come from the N2 and the Buffalo City areas of Vincent and Beacon Bay. On the N2 Wild Coast stretch near Mthatha and Butterworth, livestock and potholes cause crashes. Heavy-duty towing focuses on trucks on the N2 and the N10 near Cookhouse.
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.
