Category General News

There are many well-documented cases that living in highly industrialised areas can be hazardous to one's health and lifestyle due to varying factors including noise, congestion and pollution. However, it's unusual to find people praising being near an industrial town or area. Sasolburg could very well be the exception to the rule and its unique situation as a company enables it to continue to be involved in the development and prosperity of the town for which the company shares a name.

According to the popular property news website Property24, Sasolburg is becoming popular even among people from out of the network of the mega chemical company. This is attracting interest from those looking for a change in other parts of the country including Johannesburg.

"A friendly small-town atmosphere is attracting an increasing number of out-of-town buyers who are now seeking to relocate and live in Sasolburg, even if it means commuting to their jobs elsewhere. On the upgraded R59 arterial, Johannesburg is just 80km away, while the Vaal Dam playground, with its own range of leisure attractions and water sports facilities, is right on the doorstep".-

Below are a few reasons why moving to Sasolburg is favourable and there seems to be a lot more to offer than just factories and industry. There are theatres, rivers and other activities to enjoy nearby.

Opportunities for work

As urbanisation grows so does the need for adequate jobs. Opting to live in a town such as Sasolburg means that residents are presented with more work opportunities due to the fact that there are massive factories and various operations happening which rely on skilled and unskilled labour to maintain the machinery and do other work relating to the daily functioning of a massive refinery. This gives residents peace of mind and job security.

Infrastructure implementation and maintenance

Another factor that makes living in an industrial town such as Sasolburg so desirable is for the fact that the industry that occupies the town usually invests a lot into the town. This is the case with Sasolburg where the company itself goes to huge measures to make sure that there is an adequate infrastructure where maintenance happens regularly. For example, Sasolburg has built facilities such as swimming pools and helped fund theatres and other art initiatives and sport and social projects.

More options for schooling

Sasolburg has many different schooling facilities within close proximity to the town and this is another reason why people are choosing the location for residential reasons. Being near quality schools greatly increases the standard of living for the people who live in a particular area. This creates an environment where children have more opportunities later in life due to their good additional education.
