Composting Toilet System

BY GUY ROGERS -03 February 2019
Composting Toilet SystemsWith water becoming an increasingly scarce commodity in South Africa, Moladi’s new “plug and poo” waterless loo looks set to make a splash.
If the Choo takes off, blocked sewerage pipes could become a thing of the past and urine and dried faeces could become valued recyclables. The first flush of success has already emerged via widespread interest shown in the Choo online video, including from as far afield as India, and a provisional commission for installation in 22,000 Moladi homes already under way in Randfontein in Gauteng. The Choo (Swahili for toilet) is the latest invention from Hennie Botes, the Port Elizabeth-based founder of the Moladi smart housing empire, who started his career as an apprentice tool and die maker with the railways in Durban. Botes said he had been inspired by how nature dealt with animal waste in the bush, with urine just soaking away and faeces drying out in the sun. The key was …

BTS Shelter - Base transceiver station shelterThe versatile modular moladi plastic formwork is ideal to produce BTS shelter in remote areas far more economical than having to transport premanufactured containers or prefab structures. Rather than cast precast structures that require cranes and trucks to carry heavy loads, moladi simply transports the lightweight reusable plastic formwork to the site and casts the reinforced structure on site with all the amenities positioned between the two layers of formwork prior to casting

Jobs Producing Food and ShelterJobs Producing Food and ShelterWe have simply used South Africa as an example in the article. Obviously the solution is applicable not only to South Africa or Africa, but as a global solution.

Currently there are 800,000 graduates that are unemployed in South Africa. This means that our universities are producing a significant amount of unwanted skills for the needs of industry and our country. 

This prompts the questions: 
Does our higher education system produce unemployable graduates? Does our schooling system create unemployed youth after grade 12? Should we relook at the antiquated 1900 English curriculum applied in schools today? Are what is taught relevant to what is needed? Should we not cater for children who are not mathematical or scientifically inclined? Should we not teach basic entrepreneurial skills?Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Low cost affordable housing

Low cost affordable housing
Low cost affordable housingLow cost affordable housing is produced by speeding up the construction process - This is exactly what moladi plastic formwork construction system is designed to do.
Speed reduces costInstead of using bricks that are produced on a distant brick plant and transported to the construction site, the moladi walls are produced in a plastic lightweight reusable formwork system insitu in a day. This process speeds up the building of the wall, eliminating waste and rework. To construct a moladi wall no skilled artisan or bricklayers are required. This again reduces cost due to eliminating the variance of capacity of individual capability of the bricklayer.
All the water and electrical piping is fixed onto the formwork prior to casting the mortar (Concrete without stone). This eliminates delays and having to chase the wall for the water and electric piping. 
The moladi wall contains steel reinforcing bars to prevent cracking and also to withsta…
