What to know locally in Mpumalanga
Small yards in KwaMhlanga, Siyabuswa and Kabokweni often run an egg-laying machine on a home slab, some with a petrol engine where the power is unreliable. Machine sellers and engineering workshops in eMalahleni, Middelburg and Mbombela keep moulds, mixers and spares. Highveld yards with access to ash ask about mix design for their mould, and Lowveld yards need a covered curing area for the wet months.
Mpumalanga: the building, the weather and the yards
Coal and power stations shape building on the Mpumalanga Highveld, while the Lowveld below the escarpment builds for a warmer, wetter life. Around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda you see rows of rented units, mine housing and new extensions going up beside the old towns, and some yards there work ash into their cement bricks. Former homeland areas such as KwaMhlanga, Siyabuswa and Bushbuckridge have hundreds of family homes built block by block as money allows, which keeps village block yards busy. Mbombela, White River and Hazyview add estates, lodges and smallholdings. Frost on the Highveld and heavy summer rain in the Lowveld both mean covering bricks while they cure.
Typical brick making plants requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a contractor setting up its own plant for a steady stream of large jobs
- Brickyards and block yards: moving from single machines to an automated line to meet bigger orders
