Randfontein grew up around gold mining in the late 1800s, and the headgear and mine dumps that still mark its skyline are a genuine, visible link to the West Rand’s mining history.
A West Rand mining town with a working history
Randfontein’s identity has always been tied to the gold-mining industry that founded it, and while the town has diversified over the decades, its older core still reflects that mining-town layout and character. It remains a practical, well-connected base on the West Rand, with good road links toward both Johannesburg and Potchefstroom.
DStv installation in Randfontein

Signal repairs, Extra View and equipment
Randfontein follows the standard Highveld rain-fade pattern. On the town’s older homes we check existing cabling before assuming a fault requires new equipment. Standard equipment is a 60cm dish and Smart LNB with RG6 cabling.
