What to know locally in Potchefstroom
Restaurants and takeaways that feed students, butcheries in the town centre and Ikageng, and farms along the Mooi River run cold rooms and display fridges. School and residence kitchens need freezers and cold rooms serviced over the holidays, when they stand quiet.

What keeps Potchefstroom cold
Potchefstroom is a university town on the Mooi River, and student housing drives much of its fridge work. Landlords with flats, communes and digs near the campus ask for small fridges, bar fridges and washing machines to be fixed between terms, often several at a time. Families in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park keep double-door fridges and garage freezers, while Ikageng and Promosa have spaza shops and taverns with display fridges. Farms around the town grow maize and keep cattle, with cold rooms for meat. Summers are hot with thunderstorms and power dips, and frosty winters catch fridges stored in garages and outbuildings over the holidays.
