Bronkhorstspruit, Agricultural town in Gauteng, South Africa.

Bronkhorstspruit sits 50 kilometers east of Pretoria along the N4 highway, featuring large grain silos that mark its agricultural foundation.

The First Boer War began here in December 1880 with a 15-minute battle where Boer forces defeated British troops, resulting in significant British casualties.

The Nan Hua Temple complex, established in 1992, functions as the main Buddhist seminary and educational center for the Fo Guang Shan order in Africa.

The Bronkhorstspruit Dam provides recreational activities for visitors, including bank angling opportunities in waters containing substantial bass populations.

Three distinct townships form part of the urban landscape: Zithobeni, Rethabiseng, and Ekangala, each contributing to the town's social fabric.
