What keeps Krugersdorp cold
Krugersdorp is an old West Rand mining town on the edge of farming and tourism country. Toward Tarlton and Magaliesburg, vegetable farms and smallholdings use cold rooms to hold produce before the Johannesburg market, and in the Cradle of Humankind and Muldersdrift, wedding venues, lodges and conference centres run cold rooms and often hire mobile ones for big events. Monument and Noordheuwel have family homes with garage freezers, while Kagiso and Munsieville have spaza shops and taverns with display fridges. Mine dumps add dust to coils, summer storms bring hail and surges, and winters on the open veld are frosty. Farmers, venue owners, households and shopkeepers ask.
