About Us
Our History:
“Bricks for Africa” is owned and run by, Sole Director, Mohammed Shuabe Moosa, since 2013.
The business was first established in 2003. The brick manufacturing plant which was based at the outskirts of Pietermaritzburg traded under a different name, which was founded by a dynamic man, Mr. Abbas Moosa, the father of Shuabe Moosa. With over 10 years in the industry, run by Abbas Moosa, Shuabe Moosa joined the family business with his dad and uncle. With his industrious nature, dedication and passion for the trade over the years, he became one of PMB’s most experienced and phenomenal brick makers. He was known as “The Brick Man”. His knowledge of the brick manufacturing industry is vast and he has the potential to produce over a million bricks per month, due to his exceptional brick manufacturing skills, gained by experience through the past decade and counting. After the demise of his father, Shuabe Moosa took the initiative and made a decision to branch out on his own, continuing the legacy of his fathers’ name.
He has been in the clay brick manufacturing industry since 2006.
“Bricks for Africa” was officially started in late 2013, as a clay brick manufacturing business to exploit opportunities created by the huge demand for bricks and related products in the Pietermaritzburg and surrounding areas. The business has since grown into a reputable organization where excellence in quality and client satisfaction is the main priority.

Our Market:
Our clinker brick was used extensively for the construction of the Moses Mabhida Stadium as well as by leading contractors for the erection of classrooms, extending of buildings/flats, domestic buildings & extensions, paving, building of braai areas, garages and mainly for the foundation of buildings. Our bricks have very high MPA which is ideal for foundations.
Our 3-hole common brick was used extensively by building contractors throughout KZN for the building of flats, offices and various other projects. The commons have a great texture and rich color and may be plastered or unplastered for a beautiful rustic finish.
