The town, which developed around the mine, still bears names got from Scott's book and its characters with the suburb of Glenvarloch and its boulevards got from that source. Today the town is centered essentially around mining and furthermore has different overwhelming ventures.

The town wound up known as the setting of the well known Afrikaans-sitcom Vetkoekpaleis, a sitcom that rotates around the day by day lives of staff individuals from the Vetkoekpaleis a Vetkoek-themed drive-through joint.
