Randfontein notes on machines & equipment
Randfontein is a good place to start a small brick business: Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus have steady demand and space for a slab. An egg-laying machine with a maxi brick mould is the usual start, and a three phase static machine fits the stands in Aureus. If you build a slab near old mine ground, check it is firm. Second hand machines come up when mines and contractors close sites.
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: making bricks yourself for a backyard room, boundary wall or outside toilet
- New brick-making businesses: the lowest-cost way to test brick making before buying an electric machine
- Brickyards and block yards: a low-cost machine for special orders or for training new staff
Local tips for Randfontein
Common here: cement maxi bricks and blocks for rooms and walls in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask the local yard whether you can collect by bakkie to save on delivery. Where they work from: small yards in Mohlakeng, larger yards along the R28 and in Aureus.
Requests range widely: one to a few bricks per press or drop. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for making bricks yourself for a backyard room, boundary wall or outside toilet. One local point to raise: local yards supply most streets; sand by tipper from pits west and south of town.
