Polokwane: the building, the weather and the yards
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.
