3About Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp, on the Vaal River in North West, is gold country, part of the old KOSH goldfields with Stilfontein and Orkney just down the road. The N12 takes you through to Johannesburg or Kimberley, while the R30 links up with Potchefstroom and Bloemfontein. Locals nip between Stilfontein and Orkney daily, and there's a fast EV charger in town too. P C Pelser Airport is only 6 km out, and old mine headgear still dots the skyline as a nod to the city's gold rush roots.
