Today the busiest orders come from the townships and new housing around Bloemfontein, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu, from Welkom and Virginia where old mine houses are extended and rented, and from Phuthaditjhaba in Qwaqwa where families build in stages. Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Sasolburg have their own yards and builders, and grain and cattle farms order blocks for sheds and staff housing. Cement brick and block yards work the edges of most towns. Hard winter frost and summer hail are real threats to bricks that have not cured.
