Septic tanks and drainage in Mthatha
Mthatha is the main town of the former Transkei, and large parts of its area are not on a reliable sewer. Homes in Southernwood, Fort Gale and Norwood are served by the municipal system, while hillside homes, newer developments, Ngangelizwe's edges and rural settlements toward Libode, Qunu and Mqanduli use septic tanks, pit toilets and conservancy tanks. The soil is clay on steep hillsides, and summer rains are heavy, so drainage fields can slip or overflow. Honey sucker operators are fewer here, and many travel in from the larger Eastern Cape centres. Always ask where the load will be dumped, as works capacity is limited.

Typical honey sucker trucks for sale requests in the area come from:
- Houses: rarely bought, though a small tanker may suit a homeowner starting a side business
- Smallholdings and plots: a small used tanker for a smallholder who also clears neighbours' tanks
- Schools, churches and clinics: a municipal depot truck for emptying school, clinic and community tanks
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a tanker for a waste company adding a septic service to its fleet
- Farms and game farms: a mid-size tanker for several farm sites, sometimes also moving water
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a small truck for a group of lodges that want to manage waste themselves
- Estates and complexes: a dedicated tanker for an estate that empties its own conservancy tanks often
