What to know locally in Northern Cape
Newer houses in Kimberley's Royldene and Hadison Park mix face brick with plaster, while Galeshewe and Roodepan build mostly in cement maxi bricks. In Kathu and Postmasburg, mine housing and rentals take large orders of blocks. Farms near Prieska and Williston build sheds and staff houses in hollow blocks, and Kimberley's old Belgravia houses need red face brick matched carefully for repairs and extensions.
Northern Cape: the building, the weather and the yards
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.
Typical face bricks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a face brick farmhouse, office or store that stays tidy without paint
- Homeowners: a face brick house front or boundary wall that never needs painting
- New brick-making businesses: small traders buying and reselling face bricks by the pallet to local builders
