Brits
Afrikaans name: Brits
Brits
North West
Brits is a town situated in a fertile farming area in North West province of South Africa. Although the first European settler arrived in the area in the 1840's the town didn't get founded until 1924.
Although the town itself doesn't offer too much for the visitor there are a number of interesting places to visit that are not too far away. A trip to the Hartbeespoort Dam area is a great option as there is so much to do in the area. There are a number of small game reserves nearby including Dikhololo Game Reserve and Vaalkop Dam Nature Reserve to the north. On the way to or from Vaalkop Dam Nature Reserve why not stop for a light meal at Beestekraal?
Farming is the most important activity in the Brits area and farms produce grain, vegetables and citrus products.
There is also some heavy industry in the area and interestingly Alfa Romeo cars were produced there up until 1985.
The area between Brits and Rustenburg is a major platinum mining area.
