Kimberley: the work, the weather and the print shops
Kimberley's diamond history still draws tourists to the Big Hole and the old mining town, but today the Northern Cape provincial government is the city's biggest print buyer. Departments and the legislature order reports, campaign banners and branded items through RFQs, the newer university and colleges add student and conference work, and hospitals, schools and churches keep print shops steady. Galeshewe and Roodepan bring funeral programmes, church conference banners and soccer kits, and the farms and diggings along the Vaal River towards Barkly West have their own needs. Print shops and sign makers are spread through the CBD and the older suburbs. Johannesburg and Bloemfontein are a long drive, so ask for a delivery date. The fierce summer sun fades outdoor print fast.
