Highlights
Since the beginning of the twentieth century the Vaal Triangle epitomised the Janus-face of South Africa’s industrial revolution
The Rand Water Board had an impressive purification plant here, that was used to provide the greater part of what is Gauteng today, with ample supplies of potable water
In close proximity of the local coalfields and abundant water supplies a number of power stations started generating electricity that was relayed up to the Witwatersrand, some 70 km away
Summary
Since the beginning of the twentieth century the Vaal Triangle epitomised the Janus-face of South Africa’s industrial revolution. On the one hand the coalmining town of Vereeniging (founded 1892) was home to one of the environmentally friendly infrastructure industries of the bustling and booming Witwatersrand. On the other hand there was South Africa’s first iron and steel factory, the Union Steel Corporation of South Africa (USCO) that had been founded in 1911, in Verreeniging.
