How Can We Help?
Burgersfort is located in the valley of the Spekboom River[2] at the edge of the Bushveld Complex in the Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality of the Limpopo province, near the border with the Mpumalanga province. The town was named after a hexagonal fort built there during the 1876-77 Second War against the Bapedi of Chief Sekhukhune, and was named after President TF Burgers of the ZAR. The town serves as a meeting point for two major roads, the R37 and R555. The region is rich in platinum and platinum group metals.[3] The town's neighbouring towns are Mashishing (60 km), Steelpoort (16 km) and Ohrigstad (26 km).[4]
