3About West Porges
West Porges is part of the Randfontein sprawl on the West Rand, an easy drive from Joburg via the R28 or N12. Locals nip through to Muldersdrift (29 km) or Klipfontienview (63 km) most days, while longer hauls come in from Welkom, Mafikeng, even Mbombela and Thohoyandou. Over 20 fast EV chargers dot the area, handy for a stopover. Keep an eye out for Home Lake, an old mining subsidence pit now used for fishing, proof of the area's gold mining roots.
