What to know locally in Mahikeng
Government campaigns and imbizos use pull-up banners, backdrops, gazebos and teardrop flags, often ordered through RFQs with short notice. Municipal and department offices need door signs, directional signs and SANS 1186 safety signs. Shops in the CBD want fascias and window vinyl. Strong sun and dust here mean outdoor banners fade quickly, so ask for UV resistant inks and ask how long the print should last outdoors.
