Building with brick in East London
On the banks of the Buffalo River, East London is a port city with a big housing need around it. Mdantsane, one of the largest townships in the country, builds constantly: new rooms, boundary walls, spaza shops and family houses, mostly in cement blocks. Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Nahoon have face brick homes and newer complexes, and the industrial development zone on the West Bank draws factory and warehouse work. The coast is humid with rain spread through the year, so cement bricks cure slowly and face brick near the sea shows salt. Block yards and stores sit in Wilsonia and the West Bank, and small yards in Mdantsane and Duncan Village make blocks for neighbours.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Homeowners: one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular pallets of stock bricks and blocks delivered to several sites a month
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard buying in face bricks or pavers to sell beside its own cement bricks
Local tips for East London

Requests range widely: part pallets to full house loads. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall. One local point to raise: bricks by truck from local yards; sand from pits and quarries inland.
