Security & access in Mthatha: local notes
The hospital, university and government buildings need controlled entrances, often with boom gates, guardhouses and posts that stop vehicles cutting around the boom. Shopfronts in the CBD ask for posts that stop cars parking on the pavement in front of glass. Homeowners in the suburbs use driveway posts and removable bollards, and petrol stations along the N2 protect pump islands from long vehicles.
Mthatha: the properties, the ground and the installers
Mthatha is the main town of the former Transkei, and its CBD carries far more traffic than its streets were built for. Taxis, buses and delivery trucks crowd the centre, and vehicles mounting the kerb to park or pass are a daily problem, so municipal bollards and barriers along sidewalks and at taxi ranks are a regular need. A university, a large academic hospital, government offices and schools add institutional work, and the N2 runs right through town with heavy freight. The town is inland and hilly, with hot summers, cold winters and no salt air. Specialised products often come from East London, a few hours down the N2, so plan for delivery time.
Typical security bollards requests in the area come from:
- Municipalities and public spaces: public squares and pedestrian streets closed to cars with fixed posts
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: shopfronts, ATMs and mall entrances shielded from smash and grabs and ram raids
- Contractors and event organisers: steel posts supplied and set in footings as part of a building contract
