Blyvooruitzicht (locally /ˈbleɪfʊəreɪtsəxt/ BLAY-foor-ayt-səkht;[2] Afrikaans pronunciation: [ˈbləifuəˌrœytsəχt]) is a gold mine and gold-mining village in Gauteng, South Africa.
During the night of 3 August 1964, a sinkhole in the former mining village township of Westdene, Blyvooruitzight, buried the entire Oosthuizen family and their domestic worker, alive.
Situated some 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) south of Carletonville, as one of four village townships at the Blyvooruitzight Gold Mine, Westdene, was consequently abandoned.
An ancient sinkhole southwest of the village called the Hutgrot Cave was the shelter of the Batswana tribes during the Mzilikazi raids.
Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited (Blyvoor), has underground and surface operations and is situated on the north-western edge of the Witwatersrand Basin.
