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.

- Government and municipalities: copiers bought on tender against a written specification
- Churches, NGOs and community groups: a new entry level copier bought with a donation or a fundraiser
