| The neat pleasant town of Kroonstad, the third-largest town in
the Free State, lies two hours drive from Gauteng, making its position
on the map as important as in the agricultural economy it supports.
Folklore has it that the town was named for a horse, belonging
to Voortrekker Sarel Cilliers, which drowned in a stream on the
site of the present town. A caravan park and many more camp sites
on the banks of the willow-lined Vals River are frequented by
anglers and watersport enthusiasts.
