Flanked by partially vegetated mine dumps that serve as a visual reminder of the central role that gold once played in the development of Johannesburg is Qala Shallows, South Africa’s first underground gold mine in 15 years. Only a short drive from the CBD, the mine represents a production milestone for the Australian-listed West Wits, which has developed it, as well as for the Central Rand, which clearly has some life in it yet (See also page 8).
