Gauteng: the building, the weather and the yards
Johannesburg started out with a brickfields of its own, and the province has never stopped building. Today the demand is spread across township extensions in Soshanguve, Tembisa and Diepsloot, back rooms and boundary walls in Soweto and Mamelodi, estates and complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Lanseria, and factories from Germiston to Rosslyn. Cement brick and block yards sit on the edge of nearly every township, many of them small businesses running an egg-laying machine on a home slab, while clay brickyards and machine sellers work from the industrial belts. Sand comes in by tipper from pits south and west of the metros. Highveld frost in winter and violent summer storms are the two things to cover fresh bricks against.
