![]() Krugersdorp owes it's origin to two important events in the history of South Africa, namely The Transvaal War of independence (1881) and the discovery of the Witwatersrand Goldfields (1886). These two occurrences with their far-reaching political and economic consequences, were mainly instrumental in causing the establishment of two townships, originally apart, but subsequently united under the name of Krugersdorp. Krugersdorp has often been described as the treasure chest of the West. This beautiful town boasts, amongst other things, its own Game Reserve with exclusive facilities and 1400 hectares of lush bushveld carrying plenty of game, various national monuments, a bird sanctuary in the middle of town, the world famous Sterkfontein Caves where the first fossil of the ape man was found and plenty more to see and do.
