It was a Portugues traveller by name Bartholomew Dias who travelled to the south most tip of Africa in the year 1487 which is the present day Cape of Good Hope. His main intention was that he wanted to discover an efficient trade route to India. It was named as Cape of Storms prior to his visit which later got renamed by the Kig of Portugal John II to the Cape of Good Hope or Cabo da Boa Esperanca. Hope this helps.
It is believed that it was a Sunday in March 1886 that an Australian gold miner, George Harrison, stumbled across a rocky outcrop of the main gold-bearing reef.He declared his claim with the then-government of the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek (ZAR), and the area was pronounced open. His discovery is recorded in history with a monument where the original gold outcrop is believed to be located, and a park named in his honour. Ironically, Harrison is believed to have sold his claim for less than 10 Pounds before leaving the area, and he was never heard from again.
