What to know locally in Tzaneen
Small yards in Nkowankowa and Lenyenye run egg-laying machines, and some farms buy block machines to make blocks for staff housing. Humidity is kind to curing but hard on steel, so ask about painted or galvanised frames and sealed motors. Ask the supplier about moulds for blocks and pavers, output with your crew, and how quickly spares reach Tzaneen.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Tzaneen
Fruit farms, forestry and a warm, wet climate set Tzaneen apart. Citrus, avocado, mango and banana farms around Letsitele and the valleys need packhouses, stores and staff housing, while the town adds homes, flats and shops. Nkowankowa and Lenyenye grow with family houses in cement blocks, and village yards supply much of the work. Up in the mist belt around Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof, holiday cottages and lodges often use face brick or stone. Humidity helps fresh bricks cure, but heavy summer rain washes out open slabs and leaves damp walls if the DPC is skipped. Steep sites call for retaining blocks, and sand comes from the rivers and pits of the district.
Typical brick making plants requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a plant on farm land with its own sand, supplying a growing district
- 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
