Mthatha notes on supplies & parts
Because toner often comes by courier, keep a spare cartridge and drum for each machine, especially before exams. Rural schools in Libode, Ngcobo and Mqanduli buy reams in bulk when they come into town, and dust on the road out means paper should stay wrapped. Home offices and small businesses often do better with an ink tank printer or a mono laser than with small, costly cartridges.
Offices and printing in Mthatha
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.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:
- Government and municipalities: laminated notices and service point charts for public offices
- Schools, colleges and universities: an A3 laminator in the staff room for charts, flash cards and timetables
- Medical practices, clinics and hospitals: laminated instructions and charts in consulting rooms that are cleaned daily
