Location

Lejweleputswa

It is being said that one could come to Lejweleputswa for a hundred holidays and have a totally different experience each time! The proud history and heritage of the region will take you on a journey to a variety of landscapes, richly endowded with diverse cultures and peoples. Situated in the heartland of South Africa’s agricultural belt, mine shafts now guard the horizon where once antelope roamed. Escape to the unforgettable experience of descending into the depths of Mother Earth in a local gold mine, or explore the countryside from a steam train. Enjoy a taste of rich wildlife of Africa at a local game reserve with the comforts of a modern, vibrant city close at hand.

The history of gold prospecting and mining in the Free State goes back to the late 19th century when gold was discovered and mined near Vredefort, but it took a considerable time before any substantial gold deposits were found under the open, desolate plains of the north-western Free State. In April 1948, a borehole sunk in search for water on the farm St Helena struck lava, not sub-terranean water. Those who inhabited the farm remained thirsty, but the lava was that of a deep-flowing source of gold ore linked to the famous Witwatersrand. Foreigners and their mines came overnight, people from the rest of the Free State, prospectors from South Africa, fortune-seekers from the world.
