Krugersdorp on the road
Krugersdorp is the gateway to the Cradle of Humankind and the Magaliesberg, and its towing work mixes commuter traffic with weekend leisure routes. The N14 to Pretoria, the R28 to Randfontein and the R24 toward Hartbeespoort and Rustenburg carry trucks, commuter cars and caravans, while the R563 and R400 Cradle routes have gravel stretches and narrow bends where cars break down far from town. Weekend visitors towing boats, caravans and horse boxes often need help with couplings and trailer lights. Older mining areas and the industrial area at Chamdor add trucks and machinery. Highveld storms with hail make the Cradle roads slippery, and winter mornings can be very cold. Commuters, farmers and weekend visitors all ask for tows here.
