What to know locally in Randfontein
Poultry farms and smallholdings out towards Middelvlei and Venterspos often run banks of 48 kg cylinders or a bulk tank for brooders, filled by tanker. Households in Greenhills, Randgate and Culemborgpark usually take 9 kg and 19 kg exchanges from dealers in town. In Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus local dealers sell 9 kg exchanges, and refill stations along Main Reef Road fill 3 kg and 5 kg cylinders.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Randfontein
Randfontein grew around gold mining, and gas still follows that pattern: mines and engineering workshops buy welding and cutting gases, while households in Greenhills, Randgate and Homelake cook on gas and keep a heater for winter. LPG comes by road from depots around Johannesburg to dealers and refill stations in town and along Main Reef Road. In Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus a 9 kg exchange is how most families buy gas. Smallholdings and poultry farms west of town use gas brooders in chicken houses and 48 kg cylinders at the farmhouse. Farm deliveries take planning, and cylinders on open plots need a lockable cage.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: small burners for site work where a 9 kg is too bulky to carry
- Homeowners: a backup cooker top for boiling the kettle when the stove cylinder runs out
- Farms and smallholdings: a cooker top in the bakkie for long days in the camps and at the dam
