What to know locally in Mthatha
Pump repairs and rewinds are done in Mthatha, but larger motors and specialised parts may go to East London.

Theft of solar panels and cable is a real risk, so ask for anti-theft frames, locked caps and buried cable. Surge protection helps where storms are frequent.
Mthatha: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Around Mthatha, the water question is often about villages, not suburbs. The town takes water from the Mthatha Dam and river, but many areas have had long interruptions, and in the rolling country towards Libode, Mqanduli, Tsolo and Ngcobo, many homesteads, schools and clinics depend on boreholes, springs, rainwater tanks and water trucked in. Community boreholes with solar pumps and storage tanks are a common project, and many need repairs after pumps, cable or panels fail or are stolen. Summer brings heavy thunderstorms and lightning across the hills. In town, businesses and homes keep tanks and booster pumps. Pump shops and repairers sit in Mthatha's industrial area and along the N2, and installers drive long distances on gravel roads to rural sites.

- Homeowners: a garden borehole pump that hums and trips after a summer storm
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: village borehole pumps repaired after cable theft or lightning damage
