Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Kimberley tramway network formed part of the public transport system in Kimberley, Northern Cape, South Africa, for roughly 60 years until the late 1940s. Operation started with horse-drawn trams, on 21 June 1887. Mules replaced the horses in the early 1890s.: 8  For a few years starting in 1900 tram sets hauled by steam tram engines were also operated on some lines. The first day of public service for electric trams was 25 April 1905. The first electric trams were four single-deck cars purchased from the John Stephenson Car Company, of New York.: 15  More trams were purchased later from the J. G. Brill Company and the United Electric Car Company.
