Default Re: South Africa

kall did you know that South Africa had one of the biggest Diamond and Gold Rushes during the 19th Century?

Kimberley has what we call 'Die Groot Gat' which loosely translated to 'The Big Hole' where a shitload of diamonds were mind from. It's kind of a national landmark these days.

Also, Johannesburg was home to our very own Gold Rush. The area where I live in is called Germiston and it's biggest mine was called Simmer & Jack which produced the most gold in the whole Johannesburg area.

Just some interesting facts for you
