What to know locally in Mthatha
A manual or engine driven egg-laying block machine is a common start-up in the villages, where power may be far and trucking blocks is costly. A mixer, a level slab, water and a reliable cement supply matter as much as the machine. Ask which block widths the moulds make before you buy. Spares can be far away, so ask the supplier what comes in the box and where repairs are done.
Building with brick in Mthatha
Rural villages across the former Transkei build with cement blocks, and Mthatha is where much of that material comes from. Families in villages around Qunu, Mqanduli, Libode and Tsolo put up rondavels, square houses and outbuildings, often with blocks made on the spot by a small yard nearby. In town, Northcrest, Fort Gale and Southernwood see extensions, flats and shops. Distances are long and some roads are rough gravel, so deliveries take planning and many builders buy a machine instead of trucking blocks. Summers are hot with heavy storms, and winters can be cold inland, so cover fresh blocks year round. Water is a real question at many village sites.
Who asks for concrete mixers around Mthatha, most often first:

- New brick-making businesses: the first mixer to feed a small egg-laying machine, bought new or used
