Springs was founded as a coal and gold mining town in 1904, but its history can be traced back to the second half of the 19th century.
From about 1840 farmers moved into the area and declared farms for themselves, especially after the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (South African Republic, later Transvaal) became an independent republic with the signing of the Sand River Convention in 1852. These initial farms were large, but the measurements of the borders were inaccurate and later, when the correct borders of the farms had to be documented, there were several extra or odd pieces of land that did not belong to any farm. These odd pieces of land then became state property. Such an odd piece existed between three neighbouring farms on the Witwatersrand, namely Geduld (meaning 'patience'), De Rietfontein ('the reed fountain') and Brakpan (literally, 'small, brackish lake'). The 685 ha odd piece was given the name 'The Springs' by the land surveyor James Brooks, probably because of all the fountains on the land. Another story is that he wanted to name it after himself, but because his name (Brooks) resembled the Afrikaans word 'broek' (trousers) so closely, he feared that the Afrikaans farmers in the area would mock it.
On 16 September 1884 the official map of The Springs was registered in Pretoria, the Republic's capital. Initially, the land's value was equal to R200. But the discovery of coal and gold and its subsequent mining increased the value considerably.
The coal discovered in The Springs was of a good quality and in 1888 the first contract was signed to mine coal there. Initially mining was on a small scale, but rose when the Great Eastern mine was established. There were a number of corrugated iron houses around the mine and, although there was a few small hotels and general dealers, it was not a town yet. The settlement grew and in 1902 a health committee was appointed to look after the building and location of structures and also the hygiene in the growing township. In 1904 the Grootvlei Proprietary Mines were registered and shafts were sunk. This followed the discovery in 1899 of gold on the farm Geduld and the further discovery of the main reef in 1902.
In April 1904 The Springs was proclaimed a town, called Springs, the health committee replaced by a town council, and it flourished as a mining town. In 1962, Springs produced 10% of the country's gold and 9% of its uranium. However, by the end of the 1960s the last mine in town, the Daggafonteinmyn, (literally: Marijuana fountain mine) was emptied. The town did not die, but instead developed into an industrial centre.
The original 7 km2 farm on which the city of Springs was later to be built, The Springs, was surveyed in 1883. Coal was discovered in the area in 1887 and three years later in 1890–1891, the Transvaal Republic's first railway, the Randtram Line, was built by the Netherlands-South African Railway Company (NZASM) to carry coal from the East Rand coalfields to the gold mines of the Witwatersrand.
Gradually, especially after coal was discovered further east in South Africa in Witbank, the Springs collieries were closed. In the meanwhile, however, gold had also been discovered in the area. A village was laid out in 1904 and in 1908 the first gold mining began. Springs was granted municipal status in 1912. By the late 1930s, there were eight gold mines near Springs, making it the largest single gold-producing area in the world.
Springs is currently one of the industrial centers of the Witwatersrand and also the Eastern Gateway of Gauteng towards Mpumalanga and Northern Kwazulu Natal. Mining has been replaced by manufacturing and engineering industries of economic importance; products of the region include processed metals, chemicals, paper and foodstuffs.
Ermelo is an agricultural and mining, as well as commercial and education town in the Gert Sibande District Municipality of the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.
Situated 210 km east of Johannesburg, covering an area of 47.6 square km is home to an approximately 100 000 inhabitants.

Exploring Waterval Boven and investigating the Ancient Stone circles of Mpumalanga
What a discovery I made myself, I visited the Stone Circle museum and realised how many of these ruins are scattered around Southern Africa.
I camped in the rain at a beautiful campsite, Tranquilitas, right on the edge of the Drakensberg escarpment, and explored some of the small towns on the way with my motorcycle...

THE CEO WHISPERER - Dialog cu Manfred Kets de Vries @Smart Work Conference by HR Club | 28.10.2021
In acest moment de rascruce din istoria omenirii, liderii care se bazeaza pe gandirea magica nu ne vor rezolva problemele. Avem nevoie de lideri care sa reziste tentatiei regresului si a caror perspectiva sa fie ancorata ferm in realitate. Avem nevoie de lideri reflexivi, pregatiti sa faca o calatorie in interiorul lor, care sunt dispusi sa-si infrunte atuurile si slabiciunile si care isi folosesc propriile experiente ca instrument de dezvoltare pentru a-si construi noi puncte de vedere. Cu alte cuvinte, avem nevoie de lideri care sa fie atenti nu numai la ceea ce se intampla la suprafata, ci si la ceea ce se intampla in profunzime.
In aceasta sesiune Q & A cu Georgeta Dendrino, Manfred Kets de Vries a explorat capcanele leadershipului si provocarile profesionistilor care lucreaza cu directori executivi in mediul cibernetic de astazi. El a discutat nu numai despre ceea ce ii face pe lideri sa “deraieze”, ci si despre ceea ce ii poate face mai eficienti.
