of the bushveld, the Magaliesberg Mountains and<br />

Rustenburg has a varied manufacturing sector,<br />
although most of it is mine-related. Large-scale<br />
platinum smelters operate in Rustenburg.<br />
One of Orbit TVET College’s campuses is in<br />
Rustenburg, Unisa has a regional office, and the<br />
Agricultural Research Institute’s industrial crops unit<br />

to the provincial hospital. Rustenburg's population<br />
is about 596 000.<br />
Klerksdorp (City of Matlosana)<br />
With a population of over 400 000, Klerksdorp is<br />
an important regional centre and the town where<br />
several important companies' headquarters are<br />
located. These include Senwes, through whose silos<br />
a large proportion of South Africa's grains move<br />
every year, and a number of engineering enterprises<br />
which serve the mining industry.<br />
Matlosana is situated on the N12 Treasure Route<br />
and is marketing itself as a potential logistics hub.<br />
An intermodal facility based in the town’s airport<br />
has been developed. The city council has set aside<br />
land for the development of industrial and commercial<br />
enterprises. Break-bulk facilities, storage<br />
space and distribution centres are needed, offering<br />
concrete opportunities for investors in those fields.<br />
Bloemhof<br />
Bloemhof is a centre of maize growing and<br />
cattle raising on the southern boundary of<br />
the province, and DairyBelle has a large milkproduction<br />
facility in the town. The Bloemhof<br />
Dam is one of the three large dams on the Vaal<br />
River that supply bulk water to surrounding<br />
areas. The Bloemhof Bonanza is the biggest and<br />
most lucrative inland-angling event in South<br />
Africa, with more than 2 000 anglers trying to<br />
win R1.5-million in prize money. The nearby SA<br />
Lombard Nature Reserve has a fine herd of black<br />
wildebeest.<br />
