Springs

Springs, city (1991 pop. 157,702), Gauteng, NE South Africa. It is an industrial center of the Witwatersrand, a gold- and uranium-mining region. Manufacturing has replaced mining in economic importance and includes processed metals, chemicals, paper, and foodstuffs. Springs began to develop after the start (1885) of coal mining nearby.
