Vereeniging, Industrial town in Gauteng Province, South Africa
The city stretches along the northern loop of the Vaal River at an elevation of 1,479 meters, featuring numerous manufacturing facilities and coal mines.
The Treaty of Vereeniging, signed in 1902, marked the conclusion of the Second Boer War and established terms between British forces and Boer states.
The name originates from the Dutch and Afrikaans word meaning 'association', reflecting the initial coal mining settlement established in this location.
The city functions as a manufacturing center, producing iron, steel, pipes, bricks, tiles, and processed lime through multiple industrial facilities.
The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden hosts a permanent pair of Verreaux's eagles nesting in the Roodekrans ridge within the garden grounds.
