Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp build mostly in plastered cement blocks and maxi bricks for new rooms and houses. Golf estates and newer suburbs use face brick and clay pavers, and colour must match across phases. Holiday homes at Wilderness and Herold's Bay need dense units and good damp-proofing to cope with salt and damp, so ask about efflorescence before choosing a face brick.
