Bizana is the main town of the Winnie Madikizela-Mandela municipality, formerly Mbizana, in the Alfred Nzo district, near the KwaZulu-Natal border and inland from the Wild Coast. It serves a large rural area of villages, and the district is known as the home area of Oliver Tambo and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
Gas is used daily for cooking in many homes, and outages have led to more gas hobs and geysers. Shops, butcheries and takeaways in town also cook on gas. Without reticulated gas, safe cylinder positions, secure cages and certified installations are the main concerns for homes and businesses alike.

- Secure your cylinders. A bolted, locked cage protects cylinders from theft while keeping them ventilated.
- Business gas needs certifying. Food businesses on fixed gas should have a valid commercial CoC.
- Watch for leaks after changing cylinders. After fitting a new cylinder, check the connection with soapy water. Bubbles mean a leak.
- Use exchange suppliers. Buy correctly filled, branded cylinders. Decanting is illegal and dangerous.
