Vehicles and driving in Kimberley

Kimberley, famous for the Big Hole and its diamond history, is the capital of the Northern Cape and lies on the N12, with the N8 linking it to Bloemfontein. Distances between towns in this vast province are long, so a failing alternator or weak battery can leave drivers stranded far from help. Summers are extremely hot, which dramatically shortens battery life, and winter nights can drop below freezing. Mining operations, cattle and game farms, and solar energy projects in the region rely on bakkies, trucks and 4x4s with dependable electrics, while government fleets add to the steady demand for auto electricians.
