Stadium: Royal Bafokeng Stadium

This town 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.

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