Thatch in eMalahleni
eMalahleni is a coal and power station town, and thatch is not what most of its roofs are made of. You find it on the edges instead: garden lapas behind homes in Del Judor and the older suburbs, entertainment lapas at sports clubs, smallholdings toward Clewer and the Witbank Dam, and farmhouses with a thatched braai area out on the grassland toward Ogies and Kriel. The Highveld summer brings afternoon thunderstorms with frequent lightning and some hail, so a lightning mast matters as much here as in Pretoria. Winters are dry and frosty, and the grass around town burns. Thatchers are fewer than in Gauteng, so many quotes come from crews based in Middelburg or Pretoria who drive in along the N4.
Typical thatch fire retardant requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a treated roof and a certificate before the insurer's renewal or a sale
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: treated thatch halls where candles, heaters and events add risk
- Builders, architects and developers: treatment on a newly thatched roof before handover to the owner
