Bricks & blocks in Mpumalanga: local notes
Rented rooms and family homes in KwaGuqa, Mhluzi and Embalenhle are mostly built with cement maxi bricks and hollow blocks. Face brick is more common in the older suburbs of Middelburg and Ermelo and on new estates around Mbombela. In the Lowveld, lodges near Hazyview and Sabie use clay face brick and stone, and farm sheds and staff houses near Malelane and Komatipoort lean on plain cement blocks.
Building with brick in Mpumalanga
Coal and power stations shape building on the Mpumalanga Highveld, while the Lowveld below the escarpment builds for a warmer, wetter life. Around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda you see rows of rented units, mine housing and new extensions going up beside the old towns, and some yards there work ash into their cement bricks. Former homeland areas such as KwaMhlanga, Siyabuswa and Bushbuckridge have hundreds of family homes built block by block as money allows, which keeps village block yards busy. Mbombela, White River and Hazyview add estates, lodges and smallholdings. Frost on the Highveld and heavy summer rain in the Lowveld both mean covering bricks while they cure.
Typical face bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a face brick house front or boundary wall that never needs painting
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: matched face bricks for a house build ordered in one batch per job
- Brickyards and block yards: clay yards grading each firing into face, semi face and stock bricks

Where they work from: block yards in most villages; larger yards and machine sellers in the Highveld towns.
