Name of the [[Krugersdorp Municipal Dramatic and Operatic Society]] (KMDOS) from 1948, after the incorporation of the West-Rand Symphony Orchestra. The first conductor of the new society was Anton Hartman. At the same time the society received a plot of land and a grant from the municipality for the construction of its own small theatre, but the project was never realised. They did a few plays, including ''[[Kleurskema]]'' ([[Anton de Waal]], 1948), ''[[None but the Bold]]'' (Corbett, 1948). However, in 1952, [[P.P.B. Breytenbach]], who had been the chairman since 1934, left to become the director of the [[NTO]], and eventually KMTOS split into two separate organisations along language lines. The [[Krugersdorpse Afrikaanse Toneel Organisasie]] (KATO) was established in 1954, and in 1956 the English faction of the KMTOS followed suit by establishing the [[Krugersdorp Amateur Dramatic Society]] (KADS).
