Good Friday Wishes to Magareng Residents
It is that time of the year, the time to seek divine interventions, pray for safety, crime, peace, unity and stability. As we depart to our various destinations to worship, visit families and for vacations. I appeal we continue to build a prosperous society, redeem ourselves by finding comfort in our Creator, with the earnest belief that humankind has a duty to build a better world.
On behalf of Dikgatlong Local Municipality, I would like to profusely extend well wishes to all residents and visitors to have a blessed and glorious Easter Weekend.
I urge all roads users; both pedestrians and motorists to use roads responsibly. Our law enforcement will be out in full force to ensure road safety adherence.
We wish you a safe and happy Easter weekend.

About
Magareng Municipality
Warrenton is on the banks of the Vaal River and about 75Km from Kimberley, which was in arid country. Diamonds were found in Kimberley in 1870 soon there was a huge demand for food. In 1880 a syndicate bought the western portion of the farm Grasbult on the Vaal River.
They produced vegetables for Kimberley. In 1888 diamonds were also discovered in this area, leading to another diamond rush, and a town. Mining only stopped in 1926. In 1948 Warrenton became a municipality. The town was named after Charles Warren who in 1976 was a Cape Colony commissioner surveying the border between Griqualand West and the Orange Free State. He was also Administrator of Griqualand West in 1879, and fought in the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) in the British army.
