What to know locally in Northern Cape
Small yards in Kuruman, Calvinia and Springbok often run a manual or egg-laying machine because hauling bricks in costs too much. Machine sellers in Kimberley and Upington stock moulds and mixers, and others send machines from Gauteng or the Cape by road. Engine driven machines suit farms without power, and a shaded curing area with plenty of water is a must in the Kalahari heat.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Northern Cape
Distance is part of the price of every brick in the Northern Cape. Kimberley and Upington have the bigger yards, but a farmhouse near Carnarvon or a school extension in Pofadder may be hundreds of kilometres from the nearest pallet, so many towns make their own cement bricks locally with a small machine and Orange River or pit sand. Mining towns such as Kathu, Postmasburg and Kuruman add rented housing and new extensions, and the Karoo towns of De Aar and Colesberg build farm sheds, dams and kraals. Kimberley's older suburbs still have red face brick to match. Fierce sun and dry wind crack fresh bricks, and the Karoo gets hard winter frost.
Who asks for brick making machines around Northern Cape, most often first:
- Farms and smallholdings: making bricks on the farm for staff houses, stores and kraals with an engine machine
- 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
