Drones in North West
North West is platinum, maize and bushveld country, and drone work follows that mix. Around Rustenburg and Brits, operators survey open pits, waste rock dumps and tailings for platinum and chrome mines, while maize and sunflower farms near Lichtenburg, Klerksdorp and Vryburg want crop scouting and field mapping. Hartbeespoort Dam and the Magaliesberg attract weekend pilots and content creators, but Lanseria is close by and Pilanesberg National Park is off limits. Mahikeng and Pilanesberg airports add their own zones. Summers are hot, with storms building in the afternoons, and dry winter winds lift dust off ploughed land. Most operators travel from Rustenburg, Potchefstroom or Gauteng.
