Any recommendations where in JHB I can get new cables and housing fitted at a reasonable price?

Bought the bike used, its a 2017 model, doubt the cable and housing were changed so tempted to start there. How often should one change these?

Thanks mate, helpful info!

After riding for about 60km’s on the weekend my Shimano 105 groupset momentarily glitched and refused to change to the big ring upfront. I stopped, picked the back wheel up and tried changing to the big ring in the front and it changed, I then carried on and completed my ride with the bike changing as it should. I am just wondering why did it hesitate to change (this is the second time I experienced this), the gear shifter had no resistance as I pushed it to move to the big ring but after a few minutes it changed as normal. Do I need to replace the cables or is it something else?

I am also looking to ride the spriut with a group of some kind in the week. DM me and we can make arrangements to ride, 3:30pm sounds good to me.
