Materials & supplies in Mahikeng: local notes
Grass, poles and laths for Mahikeng jobs are usually trucked in from far away, so ask exactly what is included and how delivery is priced. Thatch dries fast in this heat, but the sun weathers it, and a <a href="/thatch-fire-retardant/">fire retardant</a> is worth considering where veld fires reach farm buildings. For small lapas, synthetic thatch is an option some owners ask about; ask for the fire rating.
Thatch in Mahikeng
Mahikeng, the North West capital close to the Botswana border, sits in dry bushveld where summers are hot and rain comes in short, sharp storms. Thatch here shows up on government and conference venues, guesthouses in Mmabatho, garden lapas in town and lapas and rondavels on cattle farms toward Zeerust and Ottoshoop. In the dry heat, thatch dries quickly after rain, but sun, wind and veld fires in the dry months wear it in other ways. The maize country around Lichtenburg has farm lapas too. Local thatchers are few, so many roofs are done by crews who travel from Rustenburg, Pretoria or further, and materials come a long way.
Who asks for thatch fire retardant around Mahikeng, most often first:

- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a treated lapa and cottage roofs near braai areas and guest fires
- Farms and smallholdings: protecting farm lapas and rondavels when winter veld fires run
