Mahikeng notes on equipment & supplies

Hire shops in Mahikeng carry a smaller range than in big cities, so chippers and stump grinders may come from Lichtenburg or Zeerust. Many homeowners in Mmabatho buy a small petrol chainsaw for thorn branches and firewood. Thick gloves, cut-resistant trousers and boots matter when handling thorn wood, and a helmet with a visor protects the face from whipping branches. Ask the hire shop to show you how the machine starts and stops.

What grows around Mahikeng

Mahikeng, the provincial capital, lies close to the Botswana border in dry bushveld. Indigenous trees such as camel thorn, which is protected, sweet thorn, karee and buffalo thorn grow on open land and in many older yards. Government buildings, schools and suburbs like Mmabatho carry planted jacarandas, pepper trees, cypresses and gums. Rainfall is lower than further east, summer storms are short and fierce, and drought can leave trees stressed and dropping limbs. Government departments, schools, churches and homeowners ask for dead tree removal, pruning over roofs and clearing of stands. Before cutting an indigenous thorn tree, check whether it is protected and whether a licence is needed.

Typical wood chipper hire requests in the area come from:

• Schools, churches and municipalities: parks, schools and churches clearing storm branches without truck loads
• Homeowners: chipping a big pile of prunings after the jacaranda or plane tree is cut back
• Businesses and commercial property: chipping on site after trees on an office park or parking lot are pruned
