What to know locally in Northern Cape
Small yards in Kuruman, Calvinia and Springbok often run a manual or egg-laying machine because hauling bricks in costs too much. Machine sellers in Kimberley and Upington stock moulds and mixers, and others send machines from Gauteng or the Cape by road. Engine driven machines suit farms without power, and a shaded curing area with plenty of water is a must in the Kalahari heat.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Northern Cape
Distance is part of the price of every brick in the Northern Cape. Kimberley and Upington have the bigger yards, but a farmhouse near Carnarvon or a school extension in Pofadder may be hundreds of kilometres from the nearest pallet, so many towns make their own cement bricks locally with a small machine and Orange River or pit sand. Mining towns such as Kathu, Postmasburg and Kuruman add rented housing and new extensions, and the Karoo towns of De Aar and Colesberg build farm sheds, dams and kraals. Kimberley's older suburbs still have red face brick to match. Fierce sun and dry wind crack fresh bricks, and the Karoo gets hard winter frost.
The requests we see from Northern Cape usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a petrol or diesel mixer for dams, troughs, kraals and farm buildings
- Homeowners: a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall
- New brick-making businesses: the first mixer to feed a small egg-laying machine, bought new or used
Local tips for Northern Cape
Common here: locally made cement bricks, farm shed blocks, housing in the mining towns. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask for a full load price delivered to the farm, not a per pallet price at the yard. Where they work from: yards in Kimberley, Upington and Kathu; small local yards in most towns.
Requests range widely: about 120 to 350 litre site drums. Here, farms and smallholdings lead the requests, typically for a petrol or diesel mixer for dams, troughs, kraals and farm buildings. One local point to raise: long hauls on the N8, N10 and N14; many towns make bricks with local sand.
