moladi superior building technology reduces high costs of conventional masonry construction Africa is a rapidly urbanising continent, which according to the UN Habitat, is increasing at a rate of 230,000 people who are moving into cities across Africa each week. Currently, sub-Saharan Africa alone has an estimated housing deficit of 30 million units and every year, the backlog of houses across Africa’s 54 countries collectively increases by 4 million houses.

With the population of the African continent expected to reach a staggering 2 billion people by 2050, almost twice the population number estimated in 2010, it is a stark reality that every year, there will be more and more people needing homes, over and above the current demand.

Although the extensive and many complex difficulties, relating to the delivery of affordable housing in Africa is well documented, the ever-increasing demand for housing keeps mounting and continues to be a major concern. Projections by the United Nations wou…

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…
