Randfontein notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus quote per room or per 1,000 bricks laid and often bring their own mixer. Sand comes by tipper from pits outside town; ask for building sand for mortar and plaster sand for walls. Paving contractors do driveways in Greenhills and Homelake. Machine repairers who travel from Krugersdorp and Chamdor can rebuild moulds and replace vibrator motors.
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: a glass block shower wall or a panel beside the front door for light
- New brick-making businesses: a small building firm adding glass block panels to its bathroom work
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard or merchant stocking glass blocks beside face bricks and blocks
