Like the other towns in the region, Stilfontein has historically
been a mining community. The Margaret shaft, sunk in 1949, was the
first concrete headgear ever to be erected in South Africa and is still
one of the main assets of the town. There are plans to convert this
historic landmark into a tourist attraction, along with the adjacent
Charles shaft.
The future looks bright for Greater Stilfontein, as a major new light
industrial development nears completion on 600 hectares of land adjacent
to the N12. The development will financially benefit the KOSH region
by attracting investors and creating new employment opportunities.
