3About Carletonville
Carletonville, on the West Rand about 90 km from Joburg via the R28 or N12, grew up around the West Wits goldfields, and the ground still shows it, sinkholes near old shafts are a real thing here. Locals nip between Blybank, Khutsong, Wedela and Fochville on quick R500 runs, while long-haul visitors roll in from as far as Laingsburg or Flagstaff. EV charging is thin on the ground, so juice up in Joburg first. Fun fact: Mponeng mine nearby goes down over 4 km, one of the deepest points of human activity on Earth.
