Vanderbijlpark

Vanderbijlpark

      town, Gauteng province, South Africa, on the Vaal River, southwest of Johannesburg. It was founded in 1942 after it was determined that the South African Iron and Steel Industrial Corporation steelworks at Pretoria could no longer be expanded. Officially declared a town in 1952 when the steelworks were opened, Vanderbijlpark is now the major steel-producing centre of South Africa. Other important metal-processing industries produce castings and equipment for mines and power stations. Educational facilities include an advanced technical institute and the Vaal Triangle branch campus of North-West University. Pop. (2001) 80,201.
