Tanzania - Moladi technology to fast track construction of court buildings

As the public awaits the much talked and awaited special court to try corruption and economic sabotage suspects, the chief justice assured the public that the government was, however, working to build more courts across the country to improve service delivery.
Figures from the High Court of Tanzania show there were 3,963 wards and 139 districts across the country in addition to 960 and 27 court buildings for primary and district courts respectively.
This means there is a deficit of 3,115 courts across the country. “Court buildings are in bad condition. We have been forced to close many buildings that were previously being used as courts since they don’t meet the requirements,” he told reporters.
Mr Othman added that the government has allocated 24 billion/- to improve the courts’ infrastructures. “The judiciary is also working with Ardhi University and National Construction Council in a pilot project using Moladi technology to fast track construction of court buildings”.
He said the pilot project is now carried out at Kibaha, Kigamboni, Kawe, Kinyerezi, Mkuranga and Bagamoyo to examine how effective and cost-cutting the technology can be for court buildings.
While the conventional methods take more than 180 days (minimum), Moladi technology is projected to take less than 76 days for an 1,168 square-metre floor area. The Judiciary’s Civil Engineer explained that when the technology is applied, it can cut down costs by 50 per cent.

Frugal Innovation In Africa - moladi FRUGAL INNOVATION IN AFRICA  FRUGAL INNOVATION IN AFRICA - moladi Moladi: Affordable houses in South Africa In many African countries, housing is one of the most sensitive issues affecting the lower income groups. In South Africa for example, close to 13% of the 14.3 million households are informal dwellings (Statistics South Africa, 2011). The term “informal dwelling” is often used in South Africa to designate shacks, corrugated-iron structures and other makeshift shelters. The above statistics represents about 1.8 million households (between 7.2 and 10.8 million people). Informal structures are often made of highly combustible materials such as wood and cardboard which pose serious safety and environmental concerns. The structures are easily damaged and exposed to the external elements meaning that people often live in damp, very hot or very cold conditions. The other concern is inadequate or lack of sanitation and running water which constitute

BUILDER OF THE FUTURE

THE BUILDER OF THE FUTURE The Builder of the Future Moladi construction systems has developed a way in which houses and social infrastructure can be built faster and cheaper, without jeopardising the structural integrity of buildings. by Glenneis Kriel - Finweek   While most other industries have undergone tremendous change, the building and construction sector has seen little new technological breakthroughs over the past fifty years. That was until Hennie Botes, the founder of Moladi , came along.   Realising the struggles of the poor in getting good quality housing, already in the 1980s, Botes decided to do something about it. His solution was the development of a whole new building system, which he named Moladi. The system replaces the cumbersome bricklaying process with an approach similar to plastic injection moulding.   A “mould” is produced by training local unskilled labour to assemble reusable plastic injection moulded panels, commonly known as formwork. The formwork is erect
