Randfontein, Gauteng

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Randfontein is a gold mining town in western Gauteng, South Africa. With the Witwatersrand gold rush in full swing, mining financier JB Robinson bought the farm Randfontein and, in 1889, floated the Randfontein Estates Gold Mining Company. The town was established in 1890 to serve the new mine and was administered by Krugersdorp until it became a municipality in 1929.
