Mount Ayliff is a town on the N2 in the Umzimvubu municipality of the Alfred Nzo district, between Kokstad and Mount Frere and close to the KwaZulu-Natal border. It serves as the seat of the local municipality, with government offices, shops and schools, and a large rural area of villages around it.
Many households cook and heat with LPG, and load-shedding added more homes using gas for hot water and cooking. Government buildings, schools and small businesses also use gas kitchens. With no reticulated supply, cylinders are the norm, and the main safety improvements are proper outside positions, good hoses and regulators, and certified fixed installations.

Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Ask for a registered installer. Gas work should be done by an installer registered with LPGSASA. Ask to see their registration card before work starts.
- Cylinders go outside. A cylinder in a kitchen cupboard or under a counter is a common and dangerous shortcut. Installers fit them outside on a firm base.
- Ventilate heated rooms. Leave a window slightly open when a gas heater is running, and switch it off before sleeping.
- Get older setups checked. An inspection can pick up perished hoses, loose fittings and faulty regulators before they cause a leak.
