Ladysmith: the work, the weather and the print shops
Sitting where the N3 and N11 meet, this is a crossroads town for northern KwaZulu-Natal. Transport firms, the Ezakheni industrial area, local government offices and the uThukela district bring forms, safety signs, vehicle branding and tender print, while churches and families from Steadville and Ezakheni order funeral programmes and wedding cards. Battlefield history and the nearby Drakensberg bring visitors, so lodges and guest houses towards Van Reenen and the Berg want brochures, menus and boards.
