Machines & equipment in Eastern Cape: local notes
Small block yards in Mthatha, Butterworth and Lusikisiki often run a manual or engine driven egg-laying machine, as rural power can be patchy. Machine sellers and engineering workshops in Gqeberha's Struandale and East London's industrial areas stock moulds, mixers and spares. Salt wind rusts machine frames near the coast, and a windbreak or cover over the slab helps bricks cure evenly.
Building with brick in Eastern Cape
Two very different building worlds sit side by side in the Eastern Cape. Along the coast, Gqeberha and East London build suburbs, complexes and factories, holiday homes go up at Jeffreys Bay, Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred, and townships such as Motherwell, Kwazakhele and Mdantsane keep extending. Inland and in the former Transkei, around Mthatha, Butterworth, Lusikisiki and Mount Frere, rural homes and rondavels are built in cement blocks from village yards, many of them one-machine businesses. The Karoo towns of Graaff-Reinet and Cradock build farm sheds and match old brickwork. Strong wind dries fresh bricks fast, salt air stains face brick on the coast, and the high ground near Komani gets frost.
Who asks for brick making machines around Eastern Cape, most often first:
- Homeowners: a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: making cement bricks on site for a job instead of trucking pallets in
- New brick-making businesses: an egg-laying machine on a rented slab as the first step into brick making
