Building with brick in Mpumalanga
Coal and power stations shape building on the Mpumalanga Highveld, while the Lowveld below the escarpment builds for a warmer, wetter life. Around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda you see rows of rented units, mine housing and new extensions going up beside the old towns, and some yards there work ash into their cement bricks. Former homeland areas such as KwaMhlanga, Siyabuswa and Bushbuckridge have hundreds of family homes built block by block as money allows, which keeps village block yards busy. Mbombela, White River and Hazyview add estates, lodges and smallholdings. Frost on the Highveld and heavy summer rain in the Lowveld both mean covering bricks while they cure.
The requests we see from Mpumalanga usually come from:
- Homeowners: a glass block shower wall or a panel beside the front door for light
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: glass block panels built into bathrooms and stairwells on new houses
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard or merchant stocking glass blocks beside face bricks and blocks
