Bricks, blocks and brick making in Kariega
Car factories and their suppliers give Kariega its industrial side, and the housing around them keeps brickyards busy. KwaNobuhle and Langa grow with new rooms, houses and boundary walls in cement blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has face brick homes and some fine old buildings. Kariega sits inland of Gqeberha, so it is drier and hotter in summer, with less salt but strong wind, both of which dry fresh cement bricks too quickly. Sand comes from pits in the area, and block yards in town and nearby Despatch supply most jobs. Small brickmakers in KwaNobuhle make blocks for their own streets, often on a home slab.

- Homeowners: cement bricks for an extension, a garage or a plastered boundary wall
