North West’s capital is Mahikeng. Rustenburg sits on the platinum belt, one of the world’s most important platinum-mining regions, and agriculture is important across the province. Potchefstroom is a university town, and Sun City and the Pilanesberg draw tourists.
Mining houses, farms and government departments here train large, widely spread workforces.
