RUSTENBURG HISTORY AND INFO ON RUSTENBURG IN GAUTENG

 

 

     

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustenburg

Rustenburg (Afrikaans and Dutch: Town of Rest) is a city of 125.000 inhabitants
situated in at the foot of the Magaliesberg mountain range in North West
Province of South Africa.


HISTORY

 

The town was established in 1851 as an administrative centre for a fertile
farming area producing citrus fruit, tobacco, groundnuts, sunflower seeds,
maize, wheat and cattle.

On 10 February 1859, the Dutch Reformed Church was founded in Rustenburg. Just
north-west of the town, the Transvaal President Paul Kruger bought a 5 square
kilometre farm in 1863. Among the first residents of Rustenburg were settlers of
Indian origin. One of the first families of Indian origin was the Bhyat family,
whose contribution to the City's history was marked by the renaming of a major
streetname to "Fatima Bhayat Street". The spelling of the surname on the street
name is unfortunately incorrect. Fatima Bhyat and husband Abubakr Ahmed Bhyat,
the first residents of Indian origin, owned a hardware store that supplied
equipment on credit to Paul Kruger for use during the Anglo-Boer War and for
which they were later rewarded with in gold
