About Klerksdorp

Klerksdorp is a significant urban centre situated in the North West Province, approximately 160km southwest of Johannesburg. Founded in 1837 as one of the first Boer settlements beyond the Vaal River, this historic city became a key gold mining hub during the 1880s Witwatersrand gold rush.

Today, Klerksdorp blends its rich heritage with modern amenities, serving as the economic heart of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District while surrounded by maize fields and mining operations that continue to shape its character.
