Area Info
Witbank means “white ridge” in Afrikaans. In 2006 Witbank was officially renamed eMalahleni which means ‘place of coal’ in Zulu.
The farmland surrounding the city is being bought out by investors, coal mining companies, and real estate developers to accommodate the rapid development of the city.
Visitors traveling from Kruger Park to Johannesburg, and vice versa, find Witbank to be a convenient stop on the route and as a result, there is a range of tourist accommodation, including a number of hotels and many guest houses.
