History

In the mid-1800s a church was to be built on the farm of Casper Coetzee, who died before its completion. The church was named Coetzee-Rust (Coetzee's Rest).

ZEERUST

The town that grew around the parish became known by the abbreviated form of its original name - Coetzee's Rust.

Mixed farming and mining of minerals like lead and chrome are the backbone of the economy in this bushveld town.
