Kathu West Ext 6 to 10

Kathu is a small mining town within the Gamagara Municipality in the Northern Cape. The town is situated on the N14 between Upington and Vryburg with about a 2-hour drive to each. Kimberley is a 3-hour drive away, while Kuruman us only 20 minutes away. The town is well known for the surrounding Iron Ore mines. This has resulted in an overpopulated town and a shortage of accommodation.

COGHSTA has identified the need to develop and extend Kathu West (extension 6-10) with approximately 5700 stands. Within extension 6-10, provision was also made for schools, shopping centres, churches etc.
