Outdoor lighting in Mthatha

Mthatha is the main commercial and administrative centre of the former Transkei, with government offices, hospitals, a university and shopping centres serving a wide rural area. Homeowners in Southernwood, Northcrest and Fort Gale want reliable security lighting on walls and gates, and many households look to solar because load-shedding and municipal outages are frequent. Rural homesteads around Qunu, Libode and Mqanduli use solar flood lights and solar garden lights where grid supply is unreliable. The area sees heavy summer storms, lightning and cold winter nights. Guesthouses towards the Wild Coast want warm path lighting. Electricians must issue a CoC.
