Wheels and roads in Kariega
Kariega is a factory town in the best sense. A major vehicle assembly plant and its suppliers employ thousands, and car carriers, parts trucks and staff shuttles fill the roads to Gqeberha and the N2 every day. Many workers drive hatchbacks or bakkies on the R75 and through Despatch, and the older streets of KwaNobuhle, Langa and Rosedale have potholes that bend rims and cause punctures. Inland from the coast, the air is drier than in Gqeberha, but summers are hot and winters bring rain. Tyre shops and alignment centres are along the main roads near the town centre and in the industrial areas, with more specialist mag repairers a short drive away in Gqeberha.
