Rental rooms in Tlhabane, Boitekong and Phokeng are mostly built with cement maxi bricks, while newer houses in Rustenburg's Cashan and Geelhout Park mix face brick and plaster. Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp suburbs still have plenty of older clay face brick to match on extensions. Estates around Hartbeespoort use face brick and retaining blocks on sloping stands, and farms near Coligny and Delareyville build sheds in hollow blocks.
Building with brick in North West
Platinum money and village self-build drive most brick orders in North West. Along the mining belt from Rustenburg to Brits and Mooinooi, rental rooms, mine housing and new extensions take cement bricks by the truckload. The villages of Bojanala, from Mogwase and Ledig to Madibeng, build family homes in stages, so block yards there sell a few hundred bricks at a time as often as a full load. Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp and Mahikeng have older suburbs in face brick and new housing on their edges, while Lichtenburg and Vryburg serve maize and cattle farms. Dry heat cures cement bricks too fast if they are not kept damp, and the plains get sharp winter frost.
