Statement: Thatch roofs are getting a bad name in South Africa!
The main reason is the "fly by night", smooth talker, cell phone "back yard" operator. If the thatch roof fails with in the next 2 years the "fly by night" won't be there, so why should he build a roof that will last 20 years.

A house is one of the biggest investments the average person will make.
Adding a thatch roof should increase the value of your property, not decrease the value.
Don't entrust your biggest investment to the "fly by night".
