Septic tanks and drainage in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits in a green, high-rainfall belt of avocado, mango and tea farms, and the wet climate makes drainage a real challenge. The town centre has sewer, but Nkowankowa, Letsitele, Politsi and the farms around Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof mainly rely on septic tanks. Red loam and deep clay soils are fertile but saturate in summer, and steep slopes mean effluent can surface lower down if soakaways are too small. Packhouses, lodges and farm worker villages use conservancy tanks and small treatment plants that need regular pump-outs. Honey sucker operators serve the area from Tzaneen, and mist and slippery roads slow access to mountain properties.

- Farms and game farms: tanks for the homestead and worker housing, light enough to move by bakkie
