Machines & equipment in Mthatha: local notes
A manual or engine driven egg-laying block machine is a common start-up in the villages, where power may be far and trucking blocks is costly. A mixer, a level slab, water and a reliable cement supply matter as much as the machine. Ask which block widths the moulds make before you buy. Spares can be far away, so ask the supplier what comes in the box and where repairs are done.
Building with brick in Mthatha
Rural villages across the former Transkei build with cement blocks, and Mthatha is where much of that material comes from. Families in villages around Qunu, Mqanduli, Libode and Tsolo put up rondavels, square houses and outbuildings, often with blocks made on the spot by a small yard nearby. In town, Northcrest, Fort Gale and Southernwood see extensions, flats and shops. Distances are long and some roads are rough gravel, so deliveries take planning and many builders buy a machine instead of trucking blocks. Summers are hot with heavy storms, and winters can be cold inland, so cover fresh blocks year round. Water is a real question at many village sites.
Typical brick making machines requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall
- New brick-making businesses: an egg-laying machine on a rented slab as the first step into brick making
- Brickyards and block yards: adding a second machine or a new mould to keep up with orders from builders
