Randfontein notes on bricks & blocks

Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus build mostly in cement maxi bricks and 140 mm hollow blocks, then plaster. Greenhills and Randgate extensions match older face brick, so take a sample to the yard. Boundary walls in Azaadville and Homelake often use blocks with brick piers. Plots toward Hillside and Westonaria use blocks for outbuildings. Ask the yard whether its cement bricks are tested for strength.

Bricks, blocks and brick making in Randfontein

Gold mining shaped Randfontein, and you can still see it in the mine dumps and open veld between the town and Westonaria. Today the brick demand comes mostly from Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, where families add rooms, rental units and boundary walls, and from Greenhills and Randgate, where older houses are extended. Small brick-making yards are common on open stands in Mohlakeng, and some sell straight to builders on the same street. Larger yards sit along the R28 and in the Aureus industrial area. The western Highveld gets hard frost in winter, and summer storms are frequent, so fresh bricks need plastic cover and a slab that drains well.

• Homeowners: 140 mm hollow blocks for a boundary wall, garage or back room
• New brick-making businesses: a small block making business supplying builders with 140 mm hollow blocks
