What to know locally in eMalahleni
Egg-laying machines on a backyard slab are a familiar sight in KwaGuqa, and contractors who supply the mines sometimes run static block machines on pallets. Ask the supplier which moulds come with the machine, whether the vibrator motor is single or three phase, and what output to expect with your crew. A 350 litre mixer suits a small yard; second hand machines need the mould and motor checked.
Building with brick in eMalahleni
Coal mines and power stations set the pace of building in eMalahleni. Workers' housing, backyard rooms in KwaGuqa and Ackerville, new extensions on the edge of town and boundary walls around plants and yards all run on cement bricks and blocks. Some yards in the coalfields mix ash from the power stations into their bricks, so ask what goes into the mix and whether the units are tested. Block yards and brick machine sellers work from the industrial areas and deliver to Kriel and Ogies on request. Small brick-making businesses with an egg-laying machine and a slab are common in the townships. Winter frost and dry wind are hard on fresh bricks, and summer storms wash out uncovered rows.

- Builders and bricklaying contractors: making cement bricks on site for a job instead of trucking pallets in
