Mthatha: the ground, the weather and the yards
Long distances shape every prefab order in and around Mthatha. Villages towards Qunu, Mqanduli, Libode and Tsolo are reached on rough gravel, so a delivery truck needs a dry day and a clear route, and some buyers choose a kit that can be carried in by bakkie. Families add nutec rooms beside rondavels, and rural schools and clinics use prefab classrooms and offices when space runs short. In town, Northcrest, Fort Gale and Southernwood add granny flats and rental rooms for students and workers. Holiday cabins suit the Wild Coast at Coffee Bay. Summers are hot with heavy storms and hail, winters cold inland, and plans go through the local municipality.

- Schools and creches: a timber reading room or music room on a quiet corner of the grounds
