Vehicles and driving in Polokwane

Polokwane is Limpopo's capital and its main service centre, on the N1 corridor running north to Beitbridge and Zimbabwe. Cross-border trucks and long-distance buses pass through constantly, and many need lighting, charging or wiring repairs along the way. Platinum and other mining operations in the region run heavy vehicle fleets, while surrounding farms grow potatoes, citrus and other produce. Summers are hot, which shortens battery life, and dust from gravel roads clogs connectors and fans. Taxis are the backbone of local transport between the city and surrounding villages, and they keep auto electricians in steady work.
