Equipment & supplies in Mthatha: local notes
Workshops in Mthatha usually buy equipment from East London or further afield, and delivery can take several days. Tyre changers, balancers, jacks, bead breakers and plug kits sell well here, along with wheel nuts for taxis and bakkies. Ask about installation, training and spare parts. Load-shedding is a concern, so check backup power options for compressors and machines.
Mthatha: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
On the N2 between East London and KwaZulu-Natal, Mthatha is the main service town for a wide rural region. Roads into the former Transkei villages are often gravel or broken tar, and minibus taxis, bakkies and old sedans arrive with bent steel wheels, sidewall cuts and worn tread. Cattle and goats on the road add sudden braking. The N2 itself carries heavy truck and holiday traffic, especially around December and Easter, and potholes open after summer storms. The R61 towards Port St Johns and the coastal roads to the Wild Coast are steep and winding. Tyre shops cluster along the N2 through town and near the CBD, and specialist mag repairs often mean a long trip to East London.
Typical tyre changer machines requests in the area come from:
- Private car owners: the machine that decides whether a mag comes back from a tyre shop unmarked
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: a truck depot changing 22.5 inch tyres on a dedicated truck changer
- Farms: a farm workshop changing bakkie and trailer tyres without a trip to town
