KwaNdengezi is a township west of Pinetown near Mariannhill, built across hilly ground with homes on sloping stands. Many households rely on LPG for cooking, either full-time or as a backup when the power goes, and a growing number are moving from portable setups to fixed stove or hob connections.
The hilly terrain affects where a cylinder can safely stand and how it gets there, and backyard rooms add more gas users to many properties. Tell us your section of KwaNdengezi, what you cook on now and whether this is a home, a rental room or a small business.

Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Fix the setup properly. A fixed line from an outside cylinder is safer than a long hose running indoors.
- Use exchanged cylinders only. Decanted or unbranded cylinders are illegal and dangerous. Exchange through a proper supplier.
- Level the base on a slope. A cylinder standing on uneven ground can topple, so a firm, level base matters on hilly stands.
- Certificates help small businesses. Landlords, insurers and some municipal inspections expect a certificate for commercial gas use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I switch from a portable cooker to a fixed gas stove?
If you cook with gas daily, a fixed connection to an outside cylinder is safer and more convenient. An installer can quote both options.
How much does a gas hob installation cost?
On an existing point, usually R1,600 to R3,200. A new cylinder and line is typically R4,500 to R9,500, excluding the hob, with most township jobs at the lower end.
Can several backyard rooms share one cylinder?
It is possible but usually simpler and safer for each room to have its own cylinder and connection, so tenants manage their own gas.
Does a shisa nyama need a gas certificate?
If it uses a fixed gas installation commercially, a certificate is advisable and often required by landlords and insurers.
What does a callout cost if I just want my gas checked?
Call-outs usually range from R450 to R950, and a full leak detection and pressure test from R900 to R2,400.
