Bricks, blocks and brick making in East London
On the banks of the Buffalo River, East London is a port city with a big housing need around it. Mdantsane, one of the largest townships in the country, builds constantly: new rooms, boundary walls, spaza shops and family houses, mostly in cement blocks. Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Nahoon have face brick homes and newer complexes, and the industrial development zone on the West Bank draws factory and warehouse work. The coast is humid with rain spread through the year, so cement bricks cure slowly and face brick near the sea shows salt. Block yards and stores sit in Wilsonia and the West Bank, and small yards in Mdantsane and Duncan Village make blocks for neighbours.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Homeowners: interlocking bricks for a garden wall, an outbuilding or a rural family house
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a small builder trying dry stacked interlocking walls on rural houses
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard adding a hydraulic press to sell interlocking bricks beside cement bricks
