Bricks



On the tour Mtinga showed us the village's brick making area - and we actually got to see bricks being made.  Mud is gathered, molded and set in the sun to dry.  Then the dry bricks are stacked and dry cornstalks, leaves and branches are stuck in the stacks and lit on fire.  The fire needs to be constantly fed for several days - and then the bricks are ready to use.
