Kuze kube manje, akukho mathambo noma izilokazane osekwaguquka kwabayitshe okutholakala esifundeni saseVredefort.Ukubandakanya ngqo kwezinhlobo zethu neDome kungalandelwa ngenkathi yasemuva (phakathi kuka-25 000 no-20 000 eminyakeni edlule). Ubufakazi bendawo yokuhlala busabalele, ngoba indawo ayizange igukwe. Noma kunjalo, kutholakale izinhlangano zamathuluzi wamatshe emadongeni aseVaal, eduze kwebhuloho laseSchoemansdrift, nasepulazini uParson's Rus.
