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: desktop MFPs for small offices and satellite sites on a set specification
- Churches, NGOs and community groups: an ink tank MFP for small print runs and for scanning records
- Small businesses and shops: a desktop colour MFP for quotes, invoices and scanned slips
