The village of Welbekend is located at the junction of the R25 and M30 in eastern Gauteng. These roads are quite busy but I don't think that too many drivers take notice of the small village as they race by.
The name Welbekend is Afrikaans for "well known" although I have been able to find out what it is well known for! The most obvious buildings are a filling station and church.
The surrounding area is good farming land and farms with cattle, sheep and other livestock can be seen.
