Bloemfontein: the building, the weather and the yards

In Mangaung and Heidedal families extend with cement bricks and blocks, and Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu build homes and rooms with blocks from local yards. Brickyards, block yards and machine sellers sit in the industrial areas, and the city is a supply base for much of the Free State.
