History
Developed on the banks of the Vaal River, Vereeniging was founded in 1892, and most of its earlier growth was due to the nearby coal mines where the first coal was discovered in 1878 on a farm called Leeuwkuil. This is also where the Treaty of Vereeniging was negotiated, which ended the Second Boer War in 1902. Many local historical artefacts are displayed in the Teknorama Museum in Duncanville and contribute to historical importance of this area.
Overview
Vereeniging is a major industrial centre in South Africa and its alpha products are iron, steel, pipes, bricks, tiles and processed limes. Several coal mines are also situated in and around Vereeniging, with reserves estimated at four billion tons. The town offers excellent healthcare and educational institutions and the majority of these services are located within the central business district (CBD). Recreation and relaxation close to the Vaal River is a key benefit of owning property in Vereeniging. The Vaal Meander offers peace and tranquillity to those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of city living and surrounding heritage sites create opportunities for experiencing the unique arts and crafts that the Vaal offers. Property in this area is highly sought-after and is perfectly suited for commuters as Vereeniging is a mere 20 minutes’ drive from Alberton as well as only 40 minutes’ drive to the southern suburbs of Johannesburg. This makes the Vereeniging area a popular area to own property in South Africa.
