Entering the city after departing Kimberley Airport in a rental car, the first word that comes to mind is diamonds, of course. If America had the gold rush, Kimberley made it fabulously big with diamonds. Kimberley City is located 110 km away from the meeting point of the the Vaal and Orange Rivers. Starting in 1866, after diamonds were found, a massive hole was dug for mining purposes. Hard to believe historical truths but 50,000 miners dug the massive hole with crude implements. An incredible 2, 722 kg of diamonds was the fruit of their labor. Kimberley Mines reached a depth of 240 meters. Kimberley is also well known for the Second Boer War between the British Empire and two independent Boer Republics, the Transvaal and the Orange, starting in 1899. After the British Empire won the lingering battle, the two republics were assimilated into South Africa, a dominion of the British Empire.
