About Randfontein

Randfontein is located on South Africa’s West Rand in Gauteng province, approximately 40km west of Johannesburg’s city centre. This historic mining town sits at an elevation of 1,719 metres on the Highveld plateau, characterised by its wide streets and open spaces that reflect its original town planning during the gold rush era.

Founded in 1890 after the discovery of gold, Randfontein developed as one of the major gold-producing areas of the Witwatersrand. Today, the town maintains its mining connections while transitioning into a residential and light industrial hub. Randfontein enjoys a pleasant highland climate with warm summers and crisp winters, and its position along the N14 highway provides easy access to greater Johannesburg while preserving its distinct local character.
