About Northam

Northam, in Limpopo's Waterberg area near the North West border, is platinum mining country through and through, home to one of the deepest platinum shafts on earth. Get there via the R510, linking Rustenburg in the south to Thabazimbi in the north. Quick hops to Amandelbult, Ramokokastad and Mogwase are common, while longer treks from Gauteng, Mpumalanga or even Durban do happen. EV charging is thin on the ground out here, so plan ahead, and Pilanesberg Airport is just 51 km away if you're flying in.
