My grandfather was on Simmer and Jack in Germiston and then on Geduld Mine. My Dad was on East Geduld Mine in the 1940s the went back to the Transvaal to Grootvlei (both in Springs). My great aunt's husband worked on Marievale Mine at Nigel. In the early days there was also Primrose mine.

Tombi you and I must have been quite close. My Dad was both at Spaarwater then Sub-Nigel and I began work at 16 at Sub-Nigel in 1940. An Uncle worked at Geduld and I remember Grootvlei and Marievale . And Dunnottar Hotel where Doug an I spent our night on honeymoon!. Then I got a sister in law whose father was Manager at Crown Mines where we sometimes played tennis and went to wonderful balls. All dressed up too. Lovely memories.
