Bricks, blocks and brick making in Klerksdorp
Gold built Klerksdorp and its neighbours Stilfontein and Orkney, and the mine houses, hostels and old brick suburbs still show it. Today the work is mostly homes and extensions: family houses in Flamwood and Wilkoppies, self-built and RDP houses in Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana, and shops and rooms along the main routes. Cement brick yards are spread through the townships, and block yards in the industrial area supply builders and farmers in the maize country around Hartbeesfontein. Some older suburbs were built with clay bricks from the district, so matching them on an extension takes a search. Dry, cold winters bring frost and hot summers bring storms, so new bricks need cover all year.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:
- Homeowners: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: extra bricklaying teams taken on per m² when a site falls behind
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard pointing its customers to bricklayers who know how its bricks lay
