Umtata is a bustling city, the economy is growing and so is the population. This means high traffic volumes in a underdeveloped place. Inefficient public administration due to corrupt governance means you will spend a lot of time complaining about simple municipal services that could be functioning better. A great place to introduce new products and services and make lots of money. Not so great if you want a peaceful existential experience.

Someone moving to Mthatha should be expectant of and comfortable living in a rural environment. It is a conservative town, with a predominantly African population. Most people in Mthatha are from the Xhosa tribe. Mthatha dwellers are also largely subsistence farmers and live off off homegrown livestock.
