Mahikeng notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers in Mahikeng and the villages often work for families building in stages, quoting per square metre or per day. Sand comes from local pits, so ask whether it suits mortar or plaster. Repairers are scarce outside town, so keep spare bearings and a vibrator motor on hand. Long delivery distances make it worth combining bricks and sand in one load.
Mahikeng: the building, the weather and the yards
As the provincial capital, Mahikeng mixes government offices and staff housing with fast-growing villages on every side. Mmabatho suburbs see extensions and boundary walls, while Montshiwa, Lomanyaneng and the surrounding villages build family homes in cement blocks, often a room at a time. Small brick yards with egg-laying machines are found in many villages, selling blocks straight off the slab. Bigger orders, face bricks and machines often travel long distances from Rustenburg, Lichtenburg or Gauteng, so delivery cost is a real part of the quote. The Kalahari edge brings hot, dry summers that dry fresh bricks fast, and cold winter nights with frost. Sand is mostly from local pits.
Typical glass blocks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a glass block shower wall or a panel beside the front door for light
