History of Gold Reef City

The gold mine closing in the year 1971, paved the way for a period of no business post which the museum and showpieces were built to celebrate the gold rush that happened in 1886, on the Witwatersrand, over which many rivers glided and made the rocks very fertile and available, with immense amounts of metal formation identified. Nevertheless, the museum and the play zones filled with gaming activities were built with much joy and excitement for the locals as well as for the infrequent visitors to the town.
