Explorer and prospector Jan Gerritze Bantjes * was the first and original discoverer of the Witwatersrand gold reef having prospected the area in the early 1880s as well as operating the Kromdraai Gold Mine to the northwest of the present-day Johannesburg from 1881.
For many years there was confusion around the first pioneers of the gold industry
and as the story went, it was believed that on a Sunday in March 1886 an Australian wanderer, George Harrison, stumbled across a rocky outcrop of the main gold- bearing reef. He declared his claim and his discovery was recorded in history with a monument built where the original gold outcrop is believed to be located. A park was
umber the lines also named in his honour. It is now known as the George Harrison Park and it was N declared a national monument in 1944.
Change left and right hand margin to 5 cm/2” Ironically, Harrison is believed to have sold his claim for less than 10 pounds before leaving the area. He was never heard from again. Prospecting and mining was just not his true leaning and it was Bantjes who should have had a monument/park built in his honour instead.

FOUNDING OF JOHANNESBURG Title case, centre, und
It did not take long for fortune-seekers from all over the world to flock to the area. What was a dusty mining village known as Ferreira’s Camp was soon formalised in a
settlement. It was initially not believed that the gold would last for long and only a small triangular piece of land was mapped to cram as many plots onto as possible.
This is the reason why Johannesburg’s central business district streets are so Paragraph 2 narrow.
Within 10 years the town was already the largest in South Africa, outstripping the growth of Cape Town, which was more than 200 years older. The gold rush saw 1 massive development of Johannesburg and the Witwatersrand and even today the area remains the prime metropolitan area of South Africa. The discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand also created a super wealthy class of miners and industrialists

NAME OF JOHANNESBURG Title case, centre, bold
