ZOUTPANSBERG

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 1045 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZOUTPANSBERG , the north-eastern division of the Transvaal. This was the
district
  to which Louis Trichard and Jan van Rensburg, the forerunners of the
Great
  Trek, journeyed in 1835. In 1845 Hendrik
Potgieter
 , a prominent leader of the Trek Boers, removed thither. The Zoutpansberg Boers formed a semi-independent community, and in 1857 Stephanus Schoeman, their commandant-general, sided against Marthinus
Pretorius and Paul Kruger when they invaded the Orange Free State. It was not until 1864 that Zoutpansberg was definitely incorporated in the
South
 
African
  Republic. Trichard and his companions had been shown gold workings by the natives, and it was in this
district
  in 18677o, and in the neighbouring region of Lydenburg, that gold mines were first worked by Europeans
south
  of the
Limpopo
 . The white settlers in Zoutpansberg had for many years a reputation for lawlessness, and were later regarded as typical " back velt Boers." Zoutpansberg contains a larger native population than any other region of the Transvaal. It is highly mineralized, next to gold, copper, found near the
Limpopo
  (where is the Messina mine) being the
chief
  metal worked. The district
long
  suffered from lack of railway communications, but in 1910 the completion of the Selati line giving it direct access to Delagoa Bay was begun. The
chief
  towns are Pietersburg and Leydsdorp.
See S. Hofmeyr, Twintig jaren in Zoutpansberg (Cape Town, 189o) ; Report on a Reconnaissance of the N.-W. Zoutpansberg District (
Pretoria
 , 1908).
