The area’s rain water flows into both the Indian and Atlantic oceans and the area provides the largest inland water system in South Africa. The Witwatersrand Sequence is a combination of gold bearing quartzite and shale and visitors can share the trials and tribulations of the early miners by going on a guide tour of two of the oldest gold mines in South Africa, at Kromdraai and Magaliesburg, South Africa’s gold mines have always been the backbone of the local economy and most mining activities are centred in Gauteng. |
