Mthatha notes on bollard types
Heavy precast concrete posts and steel pipe set deep in concrete are the common choice on CBD sidewalks and around taxi ranks, because lighter posts get knocked over or taken. Galvanised and painted steel lasts well in the dry inland air. Solar bollard lights suit clinics, campuses and rural school grounds where cabling is expensive and power cuts happen, and reflective bands help on poorly lit roads.
Sites and streets in Mthatha
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.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Municipalities and public spaces: beachfront promenades, civic squares and town hall forecourts
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: university plazas, hospital entrances and government building fronts
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a clean row in front of glass shopfronts and mall entrances
