Randfontein: the building, the weather and the yards
Gold mining shaped Randfontein, and you can still see it in the mine dumps and open veld between the town and Westonaria. Today the brick demand comes mostly from Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, where families add rooms, rental units and boundary walls, and from Greenhills and Randgate, where older houses are extended. Small brick-making yards are common on open stands in Mohlakeng, and some sell straight to builders on the same street. Larger yards sit along the R28 and in the Aureus industrial area. The western Highveld gets hard frost in winter, and summer storms are frequent, so fresh bricks need plastic cover and a slab that drains well.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- Homeowners: fire bricks for a garden pizza oven, a built-in braai or a fireplace
- New brick-making businesses: a small kiln or oven builder buying fire bricks and refractory mortar
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard stocking fire bricks and refractory mortar beside its building bricks
