What to know locally in Johannesburg
Many small brick businesses in Soweto, Orange Farm and Lenasia started with an egg-laying machine on a slab behind a house, selling to the street and to builders nearby. Single phase electric machines suit a residential stand; a three phase static machine needs a bigger yard, like the light industrial stands around Booysens and Crown Mines. Second hand machines change hands often in the city, so check the mould for wear and the vibrator motor before you pay.
Building with brick in Johannesburg
Soweto sets the pace for brick demand in Johannesburg. Across Orlando, Diepkloof, Meadowlands and Protea Glen, families add backyard rooms, second storeys and boundary walls one pallet at a time, and small block yards on open stands make cement bricks to order for the street. Further north, older suburbs like Melville, Westdene and Kensington call for matching red face brick when a stoep is closed in or a garage is added. Along the Main Reef Road and in Booysens and City Deep, yards and hardware stores sit near the old mine dumps, close to most of the city. Highveld winters bring frost on still mornings, so fresh cement bricks need covering, and summer storms can wash out a slab of uncured bricks in minutes.
