About Vereeniging

Vereeniging was founded in 1892 on the banks of the Vaal River, its Afrikaans name meaning "union" or "association." It became internationally significant in 1902 as the site where the Treaty of Vereeniging was signed, ending the Anglo-Boer War. The town anchors the Vaal Triangle, a heavily industrialised belt built on coal, steel, and chemicals, home to plants linked to ArcelorMittal and nearby Sasol operations. Away from industry, the Vaal River itself is a major draw, with the Vaal Dam and its resorts and marinas supporting boating, fishing, and weekend leisure for the wider region.

Vereeniging's week opens with a screening-turned-gathering, The Voice of Hind Rajab - Roshnee, at Inyata Wedding And Conference. DLOMO DAM hosts a weekend of music and fashion for the 6th Annual Something White, while motorsport fans head to Leeuwkuil for the NATIONAL HOTROD TOUR FINAL in November. Vaal Resorts answers with the Skhanda Fest 6 Fun Day the same month, and comedy closes out the year with Girls Night met Timothy Kieswetter! at Die Veiling Vereeniging.
