Spares counters in Mahikeng and Mmabatho carry common thermostats, relays, door seals and small R600a cans, while compressors for less common models, condensing units and cold room panels are usually ordered from Gauteng wholesalers. Chest freezers are the biggest seller for homes in Montshiwa and on farms near Lichtenburg. Ask the seller whether the freezer is rated to run in a hot outside room and whether a surge plug is included.
Mahikeng: heat, power and cold chains
Mahikeng is a provincial capital in cattle country, so fridge work splits between government buildings and the farms and villages around it. Offices, clinics, school hostels and the hospital in Mahikeng and Mmabatho keep vaccine fridges, kitchen freezers and water coolers running. Families in Montshiwa, Lomanyaneng and the surrounding villages lean on a chest freezer for meat, and spaza shops and taverns depend on bottle coolers. The dry bushveld summers are hot, and winter nights can drop below freezing, which upsets fridges kept in unheated outside rooms. Dust, power cuts and surges add to compressor and relay failures. Households, spaza owners, public facilities and cattle farmers ask most.
