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.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Mthatha
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 hatchback or SUV with a split driver's seat and children's wear in the back
- Churches, schools and halls: municipal bakkies, school buses and church kombis due for a seat refresh
- Clinics, salons, spas and gyms: patient transport vans and clinic vehicles that need wipe-clean vinyl seats
