Economy

Quick Fact

29,1% Youth unemployment rate.

Large-scale mining of lime at Danielskuil has led to growth and development.

Typically, mining and agriculture are the largest employment creators.

“Evaporating gravestones” near Danielskuil was the first clue to the rich limestone deposits found at what was to become the mining village of Lime Acres.

The wonderful discovery of diamonds in Kimberley led to colonization of Griqualand by the English authorities in Cape Town. Subsequently, the Griqua people became scattered. The town of Danielskuil obtained official status in 1892. For over 80 years after that, Danielskuil mainly provided support for the farming community.

The rather large-scale mining of lime at Danielskuil has led to its growth and development. Since 1974, Idwala Limes has been mining the lime deposits dating back 200 million years. Over 5 million tons of stone is mined annually.
