Limpopo notes on bricks & blocks
Self-built homes around Giyani, Elim and Jane Furse are mostly hollow blocks and cement maxi bricks, plastered when the roof is on. Suburbs in Polokwane such as Bendor and Flora Park, and newer estates on the city edge, use face brick and paving. Government clinics and schools across Sekhukhune and Vhembe call for tested cement blocks, and lodge builders near Vaalwater and Hoedspruit order clay face brick for walls left unplastered.
Building with brick in Limpopo
Village by village, Limpopo builds its homes one course at a time. In Vhembe, Mopani and Sekhukhune, families put up rooms and then whole houses as money comes in, often with cement blocks from a yard down the road, which makes the province full of small brick-making businesses. Polokwane, Seshego, Mokopane, Tzaneen and Thohoyandou add suburbs, shopping centres and government buildings, and Lephalale and Steelpoort have mine and power station housing. Lodges in the Waterberg and near Hoedspruit build in face brick, stone and thatch. The heat is the big caution here: fresh cement bricks dry out and crack in a day unless they are shaded and kept damp.
The requests we see from Limpopo usually come from:
- Homeowners: terracing a sloping garden or holding back the bank beside a driveway
- New brick-making businesses: a small yard making plantable retaining blocks in steel moulds for landscapers
- Brickyards and block yards: block yards adding plantable and rock face retaining blocks to their range
