Bricks, blocks and brick making in Secunda
Built around a big synthetic fuel complex, Secunda is a company town that keeps growing outward. Family suburbs in Secunda itself and Trichardt add rooms, garages and boundary walls, while Embalenhle grows with RDP houses, backyard rentals and shops built from cement maxi bricks and blocks. Contractors serving the plant need blocks for workshops and stores, and shutdown periods bring work crews who rent rooms, which keeps backyard building busy. Yards in the industrial area and in Embalenhle sell bricks off the slab, and some use ash from the area in their mix. Sand comes from pits around Bethal and Kinross. The Highveld frost and the long dry winter wind are the main risks to curing bricks here.
