Building with brick in Mbombela
Lowveld heat and humidity change how bricks behave in Mbombela. Fresh cement bricks dry far too fast on a hot October slab, so yards here keep them damp, shaded and covered, and summer downpours can wash out a day's work in minutes. The city spreads across hills: estates and complexes in Karino and around Rocky Drift, family homes in West Acres and Sonheuwel, and fast-growing townships such as KaNyamazane and Matsulu where houses go up room by room in blocks. Granite quarries and river sand supply the building trade. Brickyards and block yards sit on the main routes into town, and machine sellers serve the many small brick makers in the townships and villages toward Hazyview.
