Brief Background/History of Area

Strydompark is one of 32 suburbs that makes up the Randburg area of the Gauteng province. It’s a firmly established commercial and industrial area that focuses on both commercial and light industry. Randburg as an area has a long history within South Africa and was first established in 1959. The name is derived from the currency of South Africa “The Rand”. Pre post-apartheid South Africa, this area was seen to be a favoured National Party location and is traditionally an area reserved for Caucasian or Afrikaans speaking people. Today it’s seen to be more multi-cultural and is slowly becoming a more cosmopolitan area, with its close proximity to more upmarket areas such as Sandton.
