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 portable toilet hire requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a unit or two for a renovation or a garden party at an off-sewer house
- Smallholdings and plots: extra toilets for a wedding, market day or build on a smallholding
- Schools, churches and clinics: temporary toilets for a school sports day or church conference
- Restaurants, shops and offices: units for a shop fit-out, pop-up market or outdoor trade show
- Farms and game farms: chemical units in the lands for seasonal workers, or VIP units for a farm wedding
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: VIP units for weddings and conferences that exceed the lodge's own toilets
- Estates and complexes: units for contractors working inside the estate during building or repairs
