Randfontein is a gold mining city in the West Rand, Gauteng, South  Africa, 40 km (25 mi) in the west of Johannesburg. With the  Witwatersrand gold rush in full swing, mining financier JB Robinson  bought the farm Randfontein and, in 1889, floated the Randfontein  Estates Gold Mining Company (the subject of this book). The town was established in 1890 to serve  the new mine and was administered by Krugersdorp until it became a  municipality in 1929. Apart from having the largest stamp mill in the  world (used in early paper making for preparing the pulp),  Randfontein, like many of the other outlying areas of Johannesburg, is  essentially a rural collection of farms and small holdings in a  particularly beautiful part of Gauteng.
