Tzaneen: the building, the weather and the yards
Fruit farms, forestry and a warm, wet climate set Tzaneen apart. Citrus, avocado, mango and banana farms around Letsitele and the valleys need packhouses, stores and staff housing, while the town adds homes, flats and shops. Nkowankowa and Lenyenye grow with family houses in cement blocks, and village yards supply much of the work. Up in the mist belt around Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof, holiday cottages and lodges often use face brick or stone. Humidity helps fresh bricks cure, but heavy summer rain washes out open slabs and leaves damp walls if the DPC is skipped. Steep sites call for retaining blocks, and sand comes from the rivers and pits of the district.
