The Rustenburg business landscape behind the 014 code
The 014 region spans North West's platinum belt around Rustenburg and the Waterberg around Modimolle and Thabazimbi — mining contractors, plant hire, agriculture and game-farm tourism.
Within the 014 footprint, the commercial activity concentrates around the Rustenburg CBD and Waterfall precinct, plus Brits, Northam and the Thabazimbi mining belt.
A business advertising a 014 number is read by local customers as being part of that
economy rather than a national call centre.
Who typically runs a 014 line
- Platinum mining contractors and specialist service firms
- Plant hire, rigging and industrial equipment suppliers
- Safety, PPE and compliance training providers
- Game farms, lodges and hunting outfitters in the Waterberg
