Why damp turns up in Mthatha
Mthatha lies inland in the hilly Eastern Cape, well away from the sea, and its summers are warm with heavy rain and mist in the valleys, while winter days are milder and drier but nights can turn cold. Damp here comes mostly from leaking roofs, poor drainage on steep ground, and condensation inside closed homes. The old town centre has brick buildings with roof and gutter leaks, while houses in Norwood, Southernwood and the surrounding villages mix brick, block and older rondawel-style construction. Most customers are homeowners, schools, clinics and local landlords, and many suppliers and contractors travel in from East London or Gqeberha.
