About Rustenburg

Rustenburg is located in South Africa’s North West province, approximately 110km northwest of Johannesburg. This important mining city sits at the foot of the Magaliesberg mountain range, with elevations ranging from 1,150 to 1,500 metres above sea level.

Established in 1851, Rustenburg developed as an agricultural centre before becoming the heart of South Africa‘s platinum mining industry. The landscape combines urban development with surrounding bushveld vegetation and dramatic mountain scenery. Rustenburg’s strategic position along major transport routes makes it a key gateway to destinations like Sun City and the Pilanesberg National Park.
