History
Early History
Randfontein's existence dates back to the 1550s when the AmaNdebele lived as one nation at Emhlangeni (today's Randfontein area) under King Mhlanga approximately between 1550 and 1580. The name of Emhlangeni is translated today into the Sesotho language

(29 December 1895 – 2 January 1896) can be found in Randfontein. Various graves of those killed are scattered around the West Rand. In Randfontein, the graves of troopers William Charles Beatty-Powell, John Bernard Bletsoe, Harry Davies, John Foster, and C.E Hennessy, are hidden amongst the trees in what was originally known as the Randfontein Estates Gold Mine Military Cemetery. The graves are beside the railway line diagonally opposite where Uncle Harry's Roadhouse is currently located at the northern entrance to town from Krugersdorp. GPS: -26.150242, 27.724258
Randfontein War Memorial: This really pretty memorial can be found next to the roadhouse on the corner of Randfontein and Main Reef Roads, Surprisingly the components of the memorial are all in a reasonably good condition and it is fenced off. GPS: -26.157176, 27.719646
On 11 June 2015, a hidden graveyard with about 80 to 100 graves dating back to the 1800s was discovered near the grain silos off Main Reef Road. It's not known yet whether these are connected to the graves of the Jameson Raid.

Randfontein lies at 1,709 m above mean sea level. (By comparison, Johannesburg is at 1,733 m AMSL at the entrance to the Carlton Centre in the CBD, and Pretoria is 1,320 m AMSL in the middle of Church Square in the CBD). The climate here is mild in winter (sunny clear days and cold nights), and generally warm and wet in summer, dominated by thunderstorms. When compared with winter, the summers have much more rainfall. This location is classified as Cwb by Köppen and Geiger (dry winter, subtropical highland climate). The average annual temperature is 16.1 °C (60.9 °F). The rainfall average is 742 mm (29.2 inches) per year.

In the 1960s mining in the area came to a virtual standstill, but in the 1970s new gold deposits were discovered to the south of Randfontein and the Cooke Section was opened up in 1976. Cooke Section produced gold and uranium, the uranium being used for the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station

Culture and contemporary life
Shopping
Shopping in Randfontein is characterized by typical High Street shopping with the majority of the shops situated along Main Reef Road and surrounds. The main mall, Village Square, is also along the main street and provides comfortable access to 72 shops (GLA approximately 20,500m2). Other centres around town include: Randfontein Station Mall (20 shops), Pick 'n Pay Mini Market in Greenhills owned by Dewald Naudé since 2003, and Greenhills Spar Centre (20 shops). Numerous shops are also found along Randgate's main street, Union Street.
The proposed Lakeview Mall was abandoned due to a lack of funding. However, this development was replaced by the new Tambotie Mall (initially 20,000m2) with anchor tenants Checkers, Woolworths (Foods and Fashion), and Dischem, under the management of Broll. This shopping centre is on the corner of Tambotie and Malan streets, around the southern end of Riebeeck Lake. Excavation and groundworks started in February 2016 and it opened to the public on 27 April 2017. Municipal proposals for this precinct include a housing development and a new office park to be developed later. (The first recorded armed robbery occurred at the Dischem on Friday 7 July 2017, just three months after the centre opened.)
Another shopping centre, Umphakathi Mall (12,500m2), opened on 29 April 2021. This is bordered by the R28, R559, and Ralerata Street between Randfontein Central/Toekomsrus and Mohlakeng, and has Pick 'n Pay, Pick 'n Pay Liquor, Boxer, Boxer Liquor, Ackermans, Russells, Sleep Masters, Pep Cell, Pep Stores, KFC, and Cashbuild as main tenants. The inclusion of a new taxi rank and a filling station will attract critical mass by creating a prominent transport node, and limiting the shopping outflow. A residential phase around the complex is being built.
Factory shops
A few factories sell directly to the public where goods can be obtained at greatly reduced prices. Some of these include:
* Aranda: blankets (Tulbagh Street extension, Homelake)
* Nola/Foodcorp: rusks, Bobtail, Catmore (Desert Street, Homelake; opposite the grain silos)
Tourism
The West Rand of Gauteng is a particularly pretty part of the province flanked to the west by the Magaliesburg mountain range and to the northwest the Cradle of Humankind. Places of interest and of noteworthy historical value in the immediate vicinity include:
* Graves of the fallen British soldiers during the culmination of the Jameson Raid.
* Mining Commissioner and Telegraph Offices in Kocksoord.
The Randfontein Show is an annual event that was first held in February 1987 and is now held in February/March of each year. The largest show of its kind in western Gauteng, it plays host to live entertainment, family fun, and many things to taste, see and do. The Randfontein Show is the fifth largest event of its kind in South Africa and reaches attendances of over 110,000 annually. The show takes place at the Greenhills Sport Stadium to the west of the Randfontein Golf Course. The Show was cancelled for the first time in 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. In 2022 the Show was also cancelled due to COVID-19, and as of 2023 there is no longer a Randfontein Show.

Law and Government
Government
A number of government departments have their regional offices in Randfontein. This includes SARS (Stubbs Street), SASSA (Stubbs Street), Department of Labour (Main Reef Road), and Department of Home Affairs (Main Reef Road). Being smaller offices than those in the bigger centres they are relatively efficient and used by members of the public from far afield.
Crime
Randfontein's crime is characterized by petty theft, drugs, and prostitution. The huge area covered by the smallholdings is difficult to police and is a haven for drug dealers. Often news reports cover drug busts on the West Rand and in more cases than not the dealers or smugglers are found in rural Randfontein. Violent crime is on the increase with two gruesome murders in October 2014 that rocked the town.
In 2017 Randfontein was listed as one of the Top 30 most crime-ridden areas in South Africa, based on crimes reported to their local police stations across the 17 community-reported categories.

In July 2013 it was renovated and renamed the Lenmed Health Randfontein Private Hospital. Most road signs call it just Randfontein Private Hospital.
