Kempton Park is situated on the East Rand of Gauteng, South Africa, next to Thembisa, one of the largest townships in South Africa, north-east of Johannesburg and South of Pretoria. It is home to Africa’s busiest airport, O.R Thambo International airport.

The city was founded in 1903 by Karl Wolff who named it Kempten after the town in Bavaria, Germany in which he was born. It was the site of a dynamite factory which provided explosives for the mining industry which was gripped by gold fever after the discovery of gold in the Witwatersrand. The name became Kempton Park in an anglicesed form and today the town is a superbly located industrial centre.
