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.
The requests we see from Potchefstroom usually come from:
- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: seals for tenants' fridges at the end of a lease inspection
- Households: a new seal for a fridge that frosts up and runs all day
