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.
