Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Thabong (meaning 'place of happiness' in Southern Sotho) is the second largest township after Botshabelo in the Free State province of South Africa. The township was established during the years of segregation of black people as well as the township of Bronville for coloured people adjacent to the city of Welkom, to accommodate workers at the world's richest gold mines.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Thabong (beteken "plek van geluk" in Suid-Sotho) is 'n groot nedersetting op die goudvelde van die Vrystaatprovinsie in Suid-Afrika. Die dorp is gestig gedurende die jare van skeiding van wit en swart mense; asook die dorp van Bronville vir bruin mense aangrensend aan die stad Welkom, om werkers te huisves wat in die wêreld se rykste goudmyne gewerk het.
