eMalahleni: the building, the weather and the yards
Coal mines and power stations set the pace of building in eMalahleni. Workers' housing, backyard rooms in KwaGuqa and Ackerville, new extensions on the edge of town and boundary walls around plants and yards all run on cement bricks and blocks. Some yards in the coalfields mix ash from the power stations into their bricks, so ask what goes into the mix and whether the units are tested. Block yards and brick machine sellers work from the industrial areas and deliver to Kriel and Ogies on request. Small brick-making businesses with an egg-laying machine and a slab are common in the townships. Winter frost and dry wind are hard on fresh bricks, and summer storms wash out uncovered rows.
