Homes and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town in the Kalahari edge, surrounded by iron ore and manganese operations. Homes are mostly newer face-brick houses, complexes, mine housing and rented units, with Sesheng and Dingleton nearby. Summers are fiercely hot, and the dry red sand and dust get into everything, wearing gate tracks, motors, roller doors and air conditioners. Rare but heavy thunderstorms test roofs and gutters, while cold winter nights can affect exposed plumbing. Landlords and letting agents need regular repairs, painting and turnaround work. Residents also ask for paving, carports, shade structures, fencing and security gates. Many materials come from local merchants, with bulk items delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.

Typical ceiling repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: repairing stained boards after roof leaks and fitting new gypsum ceilings in extensions
- Townhouses and security estates: fixing leaks from the unit above or a shared roof, with the body corporate's consent
