What to know locally in Mthatha
Taxi benches and seat covers are steady work, since taxis carry so much of the region's travel. Bakkies on rural roads get canvas or vinyl covers against dust and mud. The academic hospital and clinics need cleanable vinyl on treatment beds and waiting room chairs, and university and government offices send office chairs for repair. Churches recover pew cushions, and guesthouses on the way to the Wild Coast recover lounge chairs.
Mthatha: the homes, the climate and the workshops
New homes are going up all around Mthatha, from suburbs such as Northcrest and Fort Gale to large family homesteads in the surrounding villages, and each one needs a lounge suite, dining chairs and a bedroom set. That growth keeps upholsterers busy recovering and repairing rather than replacing furniture that has travelled long distances. The university, the academic hospital and government offices send office chairs, ward seating and boardroom chairs. Taxis are a big part of local life, so taxi bench and seat cover work is steady. Most upholsterers work from small workshops in town or from home, and fabric and foam often come from East London or Durban.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family car whose roof cloth has dropped onto the back seat passengers
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: used car dealers and panel beaters getting roof linings redone before a sale
- Churches, schools and halls: school kombis and municipal vehicles where the lining hangs over the rear seats
Local tips for Mthatha
Common here: lounge suites, dining chairs, taxi seats and government office chairs. Ask each workshop about this: ask how long it will take to bring in the fabric and foam you choose. Where they work from: small workshops in town and home workshops in the suburbs and villages.
Jobs range widely: one roof lining, with or without a sunroof. Here, homeowners and tenants lead the requests, typically for the family car whose roof cloth has dropped onto the back seat passengers. One local point to raise: fabric and foam often trucked from East London or Durban along the N2.
