Kathu

Find property for sale in Kathu, a town found in South Africa’s Northern Cape that came into being as a result of Iscor’s iron ore mining activity in the Kalahari. Often referred to as the “town under the trees”, this modern town has been strategically developed and situated, with an excellent infrastructure of road, rail and air connection. The properties for sale in Kathu include residential houses and homes, apartments and flats, with smallholdings and farms to buy in the outlying areas.

Some of the world’s longest ore trains travel through the harsh Kalahari territory to offload their precious cargo at Saldanha Bay to be distributed around the world. Those who buy property in Kathu are bound to stand in awe at the sheer size of one of the world’s largest open cast iron mines, which literally dwarfs the giant ore trucks that bear up to 170 tons of ore per load.
