Bricks & blocks in East London: local notes
Mdantsane, Duncan Village and Scenery Park build mostly in plastered hollow blocks and cement maxi bricks. In Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Vincent, face brick houses are common, so extensions need colour matched from one batch, and units near the sea should be dense to resist salt. Farms and villages towards Bhisho and Qonce use blocks for houses and outbuildings, often bought from small local yards.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in East London
On the banks of the Buffalo River, East London is a port city with a big housing need around it. Mdantsane, one of the largest townships in the country, builds constantly: new rooms, boundary walls, spaza shops and family houses, mostly in cement blocks. Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Nahoon have face brick homes and newer complexes, and the industrial development zone on the West Bank draws factory and warehouse work. The coast is humid with rain spread through the year, so cement bricks cure slowly and face brick near the sea shows salt. Block yards and stores sit in Wilsonia and the West Bank, and small yards in Mdantsane and Duncan Village make blocks for neighbours.
