Bellville notes on machines & equipment
Stikland, Sacks Circle and Blackheath have engineering shops and machine sellers, so Bellville is a sensible place to look at brick and block machines in person before you buy. Small yards in Bellville South, Belhar and Kuils River often start with an electric egg-laying machine and a mixer. In winter, a roof over the curing slab is worth more than a bigger machine.
