Mooinooi
Template:Infobox South African town Mooinooi is a platinum and palladium mining town in the North West province of South Africa, roughly halfway between Brits and Rustenburg.
Formerly a boomtown, the Great Recession has caused the town to go bust.[1] Former miners lost their jobs and local services have gone out of business.
Because of the fall in the platinum prices the mine has almost completely ceased productivity. Crime has also risen dramatically and prostitution has become more common as an alternative to earning money.
