Events in Mthatha
Mthatha is the heart of the former Transkei, and traditional ceremonies shape its event calendar. Weddings, umembeso, initiation-related gatherings, funerals and unveilings are held at homesteads and community halls around Ngcobo, Libode and Qunu, where large tents, long tables and hundreds of chairs are standard hire items. In town, the university, schools, hotels and municipal halls host graduations, matric dances and corporate meetings. Summers are warm and wet with heavy storms across green hills, so sturdy tents and drainage matter, and rural access roads can be rough. Planners and hire companies are based in Mthatha and travel widely, with delivery distance a major part of the price.

Typical mobile toilet hire requests in the area come from:
- Funerals, church and cultural gatherings: several standard cabins and urinals for funerals, unveilings and church gatherings on open ground
- Weddings and traditional ceremonies: VIP flushing units or a luxury trailer placed near the tent but out of sight of the photos
- School events and matric dances: extra units for a sports day or fun day with hundreds of children and parents
- Corporate functions and year-end parties: VIP units with an attendant for an outdoor launch, team building day or year-end function
- Birthdays and private parties: a few cabins for a large garden or farm party where the house toilets cannot cope
- Conferences, launches and expos: extra units for an expo or an outdoor exhibition where the venue's toilets are too few
