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 electrical repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: swapping light fittings, fitting ceiling fans and adding outdoor security lights on a freestanding house
- Townhouses and security estates: like-for-like swaps inside the unit, with changes to shared supply handled by the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: replacing fittings and plates in a flat, with the DB board and meter left to the electrician
- Township homes and extensions: safe lights and plug points in homes and backyard rooms, using a registered electrician for wiring
- Shops, offices and rentals: replacing lights and plugs in shops and offices, with registered electricians for circuits and DB work
- Farms and smallholdings: lighting for farmhouses, sheds and yards, with wiring and generator changeover left to an electrician
