North West Province » Cities and towns » Rustenburg

 

Rustenburg, in South Africa's North West Province, was founded in 1851, and named after Rustenburg ('town of rest') in the Cape. For some years it was a frontier post and a resort for hunters, explorers and prospectors who used it as a base from which to venture into the far interior.

Rustenburg lies on the edge of the bushveld igneous complex, one of the most heavily mineralised districts in the world. Mines in the region produce platinum, asbestos, chrome, tin, lead, marble, granite and slate. Despite this being an industrial area the town is green and lush and has a delightful climate.

The main agricultural activities in the area are beef cattle, Virginia tobacco, citrus fruit, wheat, maize, sunflower seeds and groundnuts.
