Matlosana Local Municipality

Matlosana Local Municipality has served as a gold-mining centre in South Africa’s North West province since the late 19th century. Its main urban area, Klerksdorp, developed after gold was discovered nearby in 1886, and mining continues to shape the wider district alongside commerce and services. The Schoonspruit runs through Klerksdorp as part of the Vaal River system, placing the municipality on the open Highveld, far from South Africa’s coast. Orkney and Stilfontein also belong to the municipality, their growth closely linked to the region’s mines. Move on to other webcams in North West to compare Highveld settings around Matlosana.
