What to know locally in Mthatha
Village houses around Qunu, Mqanduli and Libode are mostly built in hollow cement blocks, often made nearby, with rondavels and square houses side by side. In Northcrest, Southernwood and Fort Gale, extensions and flats use blocks and maxi bricks, with some face brick. Ask for the strength of the units, because blocks from a rushed yard can be weak and crumble at the corners.
Mthatha: the building, the weather and the yards
Rural villages across the former Transkei build with cement blocks, and Mthatha is where much of that material comes from. Families in villages around Qunu, Mqanduli, Libode and Tsolo put up rondavels, square houses and outbuildings, often with blocks made on the spot by a small yard nearby. In town, Northcrest, Fort Gale and Southernwood see extensions, flats and shops. Distances are long and some roads are rough gravel, so deliveries take planning and many builders buy a machine instead of trucking blocks. Summers are hot with heavy storms, and winters can be cold inland, so cover fresh blocks year round. Water is a real question at many village sites.
Typical paving bricks requests in the area come from:

- New brick-making businesses: a small team making grey pavers on a table mould for local driveways
