Polokwane: the work, the weather and the print shops
Polokwane is Limpopo's capital and its main shopping and business centre, and print buyers come in from villages across the province. Government departments and municipalities order reports, campaign banners and branded items through RFQs and tenders, the university at Mankweng adds student and conference work, and the city's malls and retail parks keep sign makers busy. Large church gatherings, weddings, funerals and tombstone unveilings are a major part of the trade, especially in Seshego and the surrounding villages. Transport and logistics firms on the N1 north towards Zimbabwe want truck branding and workwear. Print shops cluster in the CBD, while sign makers and screen printers sit in the Ladanna industrial area. The dry heat and strong sun fade outdoor print quickly.
