A bit of history

Middelburg was founded in the late 1800s and named for its central position between Pretoria and Lydenburg.

It quickly grew into a major industrial hub due to rich coal deposits and its strategic location on transport routes.

Today, it remains one of the country’s key centres for steel production and energy.
