Machines & equipment in Pietermaritzburg: local notes
Small block yards in Edendale, Imbali and Sobantu often start with a manual or electric egg-laying machine and a mixer, selling to neighbours building rooms. Winter frost in the valley can damage bricks made late in the day, so make early and cover the slab overnight. Second hand machines come up through the farming districts and from Durban; check the mould for wear before you pay.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg has a long clay brick tradition, and the red face brick of the old city centre, the Victorian houses of Scottsville and the school buildings around town show it. Today most new building is in cement blocks and maxi bricks: RDP and social housing in Edendale and Imbali, extensions in Northdale and Eastwood, and estates out towards Hilton and Hayfields. The Msunduzi valley is hot in summer and can be frosty on winter mornings, and afternoon thunderstorms roll in through summer, so fresh bricks need covering against both rain and frost. Block yards and hardware stores sit around Willowton and Mkondeni, and machine sellers deliver up the N3 from Durban.
