City:Rustenburg
Stadium: Royal Bafokeng

Rustenburg is the third oldest town of the former Transvaal Province and offers numerous places of interest. Its jacaranda tree-lined streets are the hub of a thriving agricultural and mining industry. The city is surrounded on three sides by savannah bushveld and on the fourth the Magaliesburg Mountains rise up over 1000metres above sea level.

The region is rich in mineral wealth and boasts the most platinum mined in the world making it the platinum capital of the world. Mining, therefore, provides the most employment in the area. It is home to one of the country’s richest tribes, the Bafokeng Nation.

Rustenburg is also 30 kilometres from the sensational Sun City. Internationally renowned as Africa ‘s premier holiday resort. Sun City offers a myriad of different entertainment and relaxation opportunities, as well as enough attractions and activities to keep everyone busy. It incorporates The Palace of the Lost City. Attractions at this resort include hot air balloon rides, The Valley of Waves and a 25-hectare jungle.

The Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace is one of the stadiums for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The stadium is named after the Bafokeng people who live in the area. Upon completion, the stadium will seat 42,000.
