ZEERUST

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 965 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZEERUST , a town of the Transvaal, 149 M. by
rail
 , via
Krugersdorp
 , N.N.W. of
Pretoria
  and 33 M. N.E. of Mafeking. Pop. (1904) 1945. It was founded in 1868 and is the
chief
  town of the Marico
district
 , one of the most fertile regions of
South
  Africa. In the neighbourhood are lead,
zinc
  and silver mines, and some 2o m. S. are the Malmani goldfields. The Marico Valley was occupied early in the l9th
century
  by Matabele, who had come from
Zululand
 . They were driven out by Boer trekkers in 1837. To Boer cultivation the valley of the Marico river owes its fertility. Wheat and oats are largely cultivated and almost all sub-tropical fruits flourish. Following the
relief
  of Mafeking, 17th of May 1900, Zeerust was occupied by the British under General R. S. S. Baden-Powell. Railway connexion with
Pretoria
  was established in 1907.
