RPL training is offered by schools in the North West and Gauteng, and farm staff from Ottosdal and Hartbeesfontein sometimes train together. Hire suits a single mine or farm job.
What people fly for in Klerksdorp

Drone operators are asked to survey tailings dams and mine dumps near Stilfontein and Orkney, inspect shaft headgear, and map land for rehabilitation or reprocessing. Further out, maize and sunflower farms around Hartbeesfontein and Ottosdal ask for crop mapping and spraying. The Vaal River runs past Orkney and draws anglers and filmers. Klerksdorp's own airport, PC Pelser, lies close to the city and limits flying over parts of town. Winters are cold, dry and dusty, with wind lifting fine grit off the dumps, and summer storms arrive fast with hail and lightning.
