Valotone 2 B&B is located in the farming town of Lichtenburg in the North West Province of South Africa. It is the administrative centre of Ditsobotla Local Municipality. The town was established in 1873 by Commandant H.A. Greeff and was named by Transvaal President Thomas François Burgers, Lichtenburg (Town of Light). On the 13 March 1926, Jacobus Voorendyk discovered a diamond on his family farm and within 12 months there were 108,000 fortune seekers on the scene resulting into a diamond rush which lasted ten years. The history of the town is closely associated with the life of General De la Rey, who apart from being the town's representative in the House of Assembly, was also Assistant Commandant General of the Boer forces. After Unification he also became Senator. He was buried in Lichtenburg after a fatal shooting incident at Langlaagte. More and more farmers settled here during the mid to late 1800s

The main economic activity is the production of maize (corn). Lichtenburg lies in the heart of the maize triangle, which is the main maize growing area in South Africa. Another major economic activity is the production of cement. Within an 80 kilometres radius of Lichtenburg there are three major cement producers, i.e. Lafarge, Afrisam and Sephaku, which creates opportunities for long distance transport and related businesses.
