Bricks, blocks and brick making in Mbombela
Lowveld heat and humidity change how bricks behave in Mbombela.

The city spreads across hills: estates and complexes in Karino and around Rocky Drift, family homes in West Acres and Sonheuwel, and fast-growing townships such as KaNyamazane and Matsulu where houses go up room by room in blocks.

Brickyards and block yards sit on the main routes into town, and machine sellers serve the many small brick makers in the townships and villages toward Hazyview.
