Virginia, Lejweleputswa
Despite its rapid progress following the gold discoveries of the 1940s, the second largest city in the Central Free State has remained a beautiful, tranquil city enhanced by lovely gardens. The Sand River, on which it is set, is ideal for boating, water-skiing, fishing and swimming. A hiking trail along its banks is much frequented by bird-watchers. Nearby, a small game sanctuary supports a variety of antelope.
