Mahikeng notes on bricks & blocks
Village homes around Mahikeng, such as Lomanyaneng and Montshiwa, are mostly built in 140 mm hollow blocks or cement maxi bricks, plastered and painted. Government offices and older Mmabatho houses use face brick, and matching it means ordering from far away. Ask for paving bricks suited to sandy soils, with a well-compacted base and firm edges.
Building with brick in Mahikeng
As the provincial capital, Mahikeng mixes government offices and staff housing with fast-growing villages on every side. Mmabatho suburbs see extensions and boundary walls, while Montshiwa, Lomanyaneng and the surrounding villages build family homes in cement blocks, often a room at a time. Small brick yards with egg-laying machines are found in many villages, selling blocks straight off the slab. Bigger orders, face bricks and machines often travel long distances from Rustenburg, Lichtenburg or Gauteng, so delivery cost is a real part of the quote. The Kalahari edge brings hot, dry summers that dry fresh bricks fast, and cold winter nights with frost. Sand is mostly from local pits.
Typical bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: bricks for an extra room, a garage or a boundary wall round the house
- Municipalities, schools and public works: bricks for classrooms, clinics, community halls and municipal housing projects
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular loads of stock bricks delivered to site in step with the building programme
