Fire bricks go into sugar mill boilers and home braais, and mobile repairers travel the N2 and N3 for motors and worn moulds.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in KwaZulu-Natal
Steep hills, coastal damp and a huge rural population make KwaZulu-Natal a province of hollow blocks and retaining walls. Across the hills of Ndwedwe, Msinga and Nongoma, homesteads are built in cement blocks from small local yards, often with the blocks made on site. Durban's townships of Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda keep adding rooms, while Umhlanga, Ballito and Cornubia take estate and complex work with face brick and paving. Pietermaritzburg, Newcastle and Richards Bay each have their own yards. On the coast, salt and humidity bring white efflorescence on face brick and rust on machine parts, and summer downpours wash out uncovered bricks. The Midlands and Drakensberg get winter frost.
Typical brick machine repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a homeowner fixing a small manual machine bought for one building project
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a builder with a site brick machine needing a quick motor swap mid job
- Housing developers and complexes: an on-site block plant for a housing project kept running with planned servicing
