Who prints what in Kariega
Kariega is a motor town. A large car assembly plant and the component suppliers around it employ much of the town, and their offices print production schedules, quality records, shipping papers and training material, often across shifts. The rest is a regional town: municipal offices, the magistrate's court, schools and clinics in KwaNobuhle and Rosedale, and small businesses along the main streets. Summers are hot and dry, berg winds bring dust, and plant shutdowns over the holidays change how many pages offices print. Only a few copier suppliers are based in Kariega itself; most machines are sold and serviced from Gqeberha, about half an hour away, and toner usually arrives the next day.
