Fochville is a small West Rand town near Carletonville, its name honouring French WWI general Ferdinand Foch — one of several towns in the district named after Allied figures from that era.
A small town on the West Rand’s mining fringe
Fochville sits close to the Gatsrand ridge and the wider Merafong mining district, functioning as a smaller, quieter residential base alongside the more industrial Carletonville nearby. Its size gives it a genuinely close-knit, small-town character uncommon closer to central Gauteng.
