North West: the building, the weather and the yards
Platinum money and village self-build drive most brick orders in North West. Along the mining belt from Rustenburg to Brits and Mooinooi, rental rooms, mine housing and new extensions take cement bricks by the truckload. The villages of Bojanala, from Mogwase and Ledig to Madibeng, build family homes in stages, so block yards there sell a few hundred bricks at a time as often as a full load. Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp and Mahikeng have older suburbs in face brick and new housing on their edges, while Lichtenburg and Vryburg serve maize and cattle farms. Dry heat cures cement bricks too fast if they are not kept damp, and the plains get sharp winter frost.
