Orlando West Boundary Wall
declared the best of its kind
Corobrik, South Africa’s leading brickmaker ran a
competition to find the best residential boundary wall
built from their face bricks. The competition ran in the
Gauteng area and homeowners were invited to submit
photographs of their boundary wall in 2019.

Musa Shangase, Corobrik commercial director says
that 150 entries were received. “We are delighted
with the calibre of entries, more than half the
entries were of a very high standard. After a
difficult decision-making process, Faith Vanqa of
Orlando West, Soweto was declared the winner.”
“A team went through all entries and the top 20
entries were selected to be visited. The Corobrik
team visited the sites to view the workmanship and
the top five were selected for further visits before
the decision was finalised. It is wonderful to see
that homeowners are very proud of their homes
and see their boundary wall as an opportunity to
display their individual personality.”
Faith Vanqa selected a combination of Topaz
Travertine and Golden Wheat Travertine to
highlight the pattern and hollowed out elements.
Single and double bull nose special bricks were
used to give the rounded edging along the top of
the wall – which further augments the quality of
this wall.
To enhance the boundary wall Vanqa paved the
interior area with Corobrik Autumn and Nutmeg
blend pavers.
