Bricks, blocks and brick making in Rustenburg
Platinum mining drives Rustenburg's building, from mine villages and housing projects to the many backyard rentals built for mine workers in Boitekong, Phokeng and Tlhabane. Cement bricks and blocks do most of the work, made by small yards across the townships and by bigger block yards in the industrial areas. Some machine operators on the platinum belt move from one housing project to the next. Older suburbs such as Safari Gardens and Cashan see extensions and boundary walls, and farms toward Kroondal need sheds and staff houses. The Magaliesberg brings hot summers with sharp afternoon storms and cold, dry winters, so fresh bricks need shade, water and cover in every season.

- Homeowners: a tipper of building sand and a load of plaster sand for an extension
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular sand deliveries to several sites, mortar and plaster sand kept apart
