What a Theme Park Tells Us about Johannesburg’s Gold-Mining Past

Today, families can have a really great time at Gold Reef City, a major theme park in South Africa. The name refers to the gold-bearing quartz veins that ran beneath the Johannesburg area and made it possible for the Krugerrand to be made from South African gold. Gold Reef City, our destination today, it not only an amusement park but also a large museum of South African gold mining.
