Leydsdorp
Leydsdorp is a former gold rush town situated in the Limpopo province of South Africa.
Ghost town 11 km south-west of Gravelotte and 53 km south-east of Tzaneen. It developed from a gold-mining camp and was proclaimed in 1890, but was virtually abandoned when gold was discovered on the Witwatersrand. Named after Willem Johannes Leyds (1859-1940), State Secretary of the South African Republic from 1888 to 1897.
