Building with brick in Randfontein
Gold mining shaped Randfontein, and you can still see it in the mine dumps and open veld between the town and Westonaria. Today the brick demand comes mostly from Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, where families add rooms, rental units and boundary walls, and from Greenhills and Randgate, where older houses are extended. Small brick-making yards are common on open stands in Mohlakeng, and some sell straight to builders on the same street. Larger yards sit along the R28 and in the Aureus industrial area. The western Highveld gets hard frost in winter, and summer storms are frequent, so fresh bricks need plastic cover and a slab that drains well.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually 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
