What to know locally in Eastern Cape
The motor trade around Kariega, Gqeberha and East London keeps trimmers busy with leather conversions, bolster repairs and roof linings. Taxis between Mthatha and the coast need tough bench seats, and farm bakkies in the Karoo get canvas seat covers. Boats on the Kowie River at Port Alfred and in the harbours need marine vinyl, and holiday homes in Jeffreys Bay and Kenton-on-Sea want outdoor cushions that cope with wind and sun.
Eastern Cape: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Car factories in Kariega and East London have given this province a deep pool of motor trimming and seat work, and that skill spills over into bakkie seats, taxi benches, classic car interiors and boat cushions. Gqeberha's industrial areas in Struandale and Deal Party and East London's Wilsonia hold many of the workshops, alongside home upholsterers in the townships. Furniture work changes with the landscape: Karoo towns such as Graaff-Reinet and Cradock have Cape Dutch pieces and riempie chairs, Makhanda has student houses and old settler homes, and the Wild Coast relies on long trips from Mthatha. The constant wind and salt on the coast rust staples and wear outdoor fabric, while Karoo dust settles into every couch.
The requests we see from Eastern Cape usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: used car dealers and panel beaters getting roof linings redone before a sale
- Homeowners and tenants: the family car whose roof cloth has dropped onto the back seat passengers
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: campers, caravans and 4x4 canopies with ceilings that have lifted in the heat
