Krugersdorp: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Krugersdorp is the gateway to some of Gauteng's most thatched countryside. North of town, Muldersdrift and the Cradle of Humankind are full of guest lodges, conference venues, wedding halls and country homes with thatched roofs among the koppies and grassland, and the road on toward Magaliesburg adds more of the same. In town, Noordheuwel and Monument have family homes with lapas. The open veld is the defining risk: in winter the grass is tinder dry and fires run quickly, while in summer the ridges draw lightning. Thatchers and pole suppliers in the Muldersdrift area work this whole stretch.
