Lusikisiki is a busy town in the Ingquza Hill municipality of the OR Tambo district, inland from the Wild Coast between Port St Johns and Flagstaff. It is a trading centre for a large rural area, with shops, taxi ranks, a hospital and many villages around it, and the Magwa tea area and Mkambati reserve not far off.
Gas is a key fuel for cooking in many homes, and for takeaways, butcheries and street food sellers. Load-shedding made gas hobs and geysers more common. With no reticulated gas, cylinder security and safe fittings are the main concerns, along with getting business setups certified by a registered installer so landlords and insurers are satisfied.

- Lock up cylinders. Cylinder theft is common in busy towns. A bolted, locked cage keeps them secure and ventilated.
- Fryers need extra care. Gas fryers should have flame failure protection and be installed with proper clearance and ventilation.
- Certify food business gas. A valid commercial CoC helps with landlords, insurers and health inspections.
- Never use a damaged cylinder. Dented, rusty or leaking cylinders should be returned to the supplier, not used.
