Supplies & services in Limpopo: local notes
Bricklaying teams in Polokwane, Tzaneen and Mokopane quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors work shopping centres and driveways in the bigger towns. River sand from the Letaba and Levubu catchments and local pit sand come by bakkie and tipper. Interlocking soil-cement blocks are used on some rural builds, and mobile repairers from Polokwane travel out for motors and worn moulds.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Limpopo
Village by village, Limpopo builds its homes one course at a time. In Vhembe, Mopani and Sekhukhune, families put up rooms and then whole houses as money comes in, often with cement blocks from a yard down the road, which makes the province full of small brick-making businesses. Polokwane, Seshego, Mokopane, Tzaneen and Thohoyandou add suburbs, shopping centres and government buildings, and Lephalale and Steelpoort have mine and power station housing. Lodges in the Waterberg and near Hoedspruit build in face brick, stone and thatch. The heat is the big caution here: fresh cement bricks dry out and crack in a day unless they are shaded and kept damp.
Typical fire bricks requests in the area come from:
