What to know locally in Mthatha
A service contract is only as good as the technician's distance from you, so ask where they are based and how a breakdown at a school two hours out is handled. Put a surge protector on every machine. Copy shops in the CBD and near the university campus do a large trade in copies of IDs, CVs, assignments and binding, and offices with patient or learner files need shredding under POPIA.
Mthatha: the offices, the volumes and the dealers
Mthatha is the main town for a large rural region of the former Transkei, and much of its printing serves people who travel in from far away. Government departments, the district and local municipalities, the courts, the academic hospital and a university campus fill offices around Sutherland Street and Nelson Mandela Drive, and the many schools in the surrounding districts need exam papers, reports and admin printing. Small businesses and church offices often rely on copy shops in town. Power interruptions and summer storms are a real risk to machines, and rural schools may sit far from any technician. A few copier dealers are based in town, and others serve the area from East London, about three hours away on the N2.
Who asks for copy shops around Mthatha, most often first:
- Government and municipalities: tender document sets copied, bound and checked before a closing time
- Schools, colleges and universities: a small school copying exam papers when its own copier is down
- Medical practices, clinics and hospitals: a practice scanning a box of old patient files to PDF
