Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Blyvooruitzicht is a gold-mining village in Gauteng, South Africa. It is situated about 3.5 km south of the centre of Carletonville and 80 km westwards from Johannesburg. The name of the village is of Dutch origin meaning happy prospect. The farm Blyvooruitzicht was first farmed by Pieter Dani l Roux and the main road through the current village is named after him. Established in 1937, Blyvooruitzicht village was built to house the workers of the Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mine which was the first to mine on the gold of the West Wits line. Production started in 1942 and Blyvoor has been an operation of DRDGOLD since 1997. In the late 60's and early 70's it boasted having the highest earnings per capita in the world. However taking into account that it was proclaimed at the height of the apartheid era, it is probable that these statistics did not factor in the non white worker's earnings.
