BE DRIVEN [STUDIO]: Our guests today own an eco-friendly brick company that manufactures bricks using sand and recycled plastic.
Through their company Ramtsilo Manufacturing & Construction they'll be the first company to bring the plastic brick to South Africa.
We’re joined in the studio by Kedibone and Keletso Tsiloane to understand more about their business model.
The PlastiBrick was invented as a solution to the plastic pandemic that our country faces, while significant efforts have been made by government, big companies and households to recycle plastic we are still confronted with the need for a long-term solution to this crisis.
We collect plastic that would otherwise end up in landfills and rivers polluting our environment from waste pickers we see in the streets and recycling companies, use it as raw material together with sand for the manufacturing of bricks that offer a sustainable solution to housing while creating jobs and meeting environmental imperatives.
The Plastibrick is not only a game changer for the alternative building industry, but it benefits the country as well with its characteristics. We currently work with two buy back centers but there are a more recycling companies that we intend on partnering with to set a ripple effect of employment and boosting the economic activity of the country.
The bricks are highly durability and low in maintenance, can continue to cure even after manufacturing which makes them even stronger. The South African market has not only welcomed the innovation but have also endorsed the

We now get an update on the investigations into Enoch Mpianzi’s death. Mpianzi drowned while at a school orientation camp in Brits, North West. We’re joined on the line by SABC reporter Sashin Naidoo.
No roll call was done by Parktown Boys' High School before Grade 8 pupils departed for their orientation camp last week and that caused confusion when some learners were unaccounted for, Nyati Bush and Riverbreak lodge has said in a statement.
The lodge has spoken out following a week of criticism after 13-year-old Enoch Mpianzi died while attending a camp at the site last Wednesday.
Mpianzi was last seen when a makeshift raft he and other boys were on overturned on the Crocodile River, on the first day of the camp. They had built their own rafts and some boys, among them Enoch, fell off and scrambled to get back on.
Nyati Bush and Riverbreak, through its legal representative Daniël Eloff, said pupils had participated in an adventure activity on Wednesday, known as "stretcher run".
He said the adventure activities were facilitated by 17 staff members from the lodge, and that eight of those were deployed at the riverside to assist.
It was only after a roll call by the school staff on the Wednesday evening when it was realised that eight pupils were unaccounted for, but there was "uncertainty amongst the school staff whether the eight absent [pupils] were actually attending the camp".
The lodge said that only after the parents of the eight "unaccounted [for]" pupils were contacted on Thursday morning, did they realise that Mpianzi was missing.
The lodge said it would be cooperating and assisting in all investigations and would provide access to its property.
Gauteng education department spokesperson Steve Mabona could not give further details in the matter and said investigations were continuing.

The Gauteng Education Department has changed the policy on school outings following the death of 13-year old Enock Mpianzi. The Parktown Boys High School learner drowned last week in the Crocodile River in Brits. He was attending a Grade 8 Orientation Camp at the Nyati Bush camp site. Schools are now expected to seek authorization from the department if learners are going to embark on physical activities. Lona Zawula reports...
