To give you an accurate answer one need to know what size of block you are referring to, additionally are these cement or clay fired bricks. There is not really a universal standard quantity specified by any industry to complete a fully loaded pallet. The size and load depends on the supplier or manufacturer and their materials handling equipment.
Yes, its never a waste to learn a language. The vast majority of whites speak both English and Afrikaans - some better than others of course. Until recently a pass in both languages were required to graduate from high school. The split between white English and Afrikaans mother tongue speakers is roughly 60/40 overall but there is considerable variation geographically, socially and by economic sector. The aspirational language is English. All schools offer it. Even though the matriculation standards specify any two of SA's 11 official languages, English is inevitably chosen as one of them. Meanwhile the number of schools offering Afrikaans as a subject are declining as Afrikaans medium schools (as well as colleges and universities) are put under enormous pressure to introduce other languages. Among black South Africans there is a very strong shift away from Afrikaans toward English as a second (even third, fourth or fifth) language. This shift began in the 1970's but was delayed by the necessity to understand the bosses under Apartheid. It became stigmatised as the language of the opressor. With the Afrikaner's loss of political hegemony the necessity to know the language for political purposes has dissapeared, hence the shift towards English.
