Bricks, blocks and brick making in Polokwane
Limpopo's main city and its ring of villages build mostly with cement blocks. Families in Moletjie, Ga-Mothapo and around Mankweng put up homes room by room, and almost every village has a small yard selling blocks and maxi bricks off the slab. In town, Bendor, Flora Park and the newer estates add face brick houses, townhouses and complexes, and Seshego grows with extensions and rental rooms. Block yards, brickyards and machine sellers cluster in the industrial area and along the main roads, and many supply the villages too. Polokwane sits on a high plateau with hot summers, afternoon storms and dry winters, so fresh blocks need water and shade more than frost cover.
Typical bricklayers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
- New brick-making businesses: a small block yard offering supply and lay with a bricklayer it trusts
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard pointing its customers to bricklayers who know how its bricks lay
Local tips for Polokwane
Common here: hollow blocks and maxi bricks for village homes, face brick for town estates. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask whether the yard delivers to your village and whether offloading is included. Where they work from: block yards and machine sellers in the industrial area and on the main routes.
Requests range widely: per m², per 1,000 bricks laid or per day. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back. One local point to raise: town yards deliver to the villages by truck; many villages have their own yard.
