Diepgezet is a deserted town in Gert Sibande District Municipality in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.
Formerly an asbestos mining town owned by Msauli and African Chrysotile Asbestos Limited (ACA)[2] before abandonment in 2002 due to the imminent closure of the mine as a result of a proposed ban on the usage of asbestos eventually signed into law in 2008.[3]
