Ba-Phalaborwa Information
|
Originally a mining town (and still home to the Palabora Mining Company), it has developed over the years into a tourist attraction. PMC's open cast mine is Africa's widest man-made hole at almost 2,000 meters wide.. Tourism and wildlife play a dominant role in the life of this town. It is the only town in South Africa that borders the Kruger National Park, the Mozambiquan border is only two hours away. The Hans Merensky Golf Estate is situated on the edge of town.
Blyde River Canyon, the Rondavels, God's Window and Bourke Luck’s Potholes, the Tzaneen and Hoedspruit attractions can be visited during the day.
The name "-Phalaborwa", given to the area by the Sotho tribes who moved here from the south, means better than the south. The Sotho mined and smelted copper and iron ore here as far back as 400 AD. Masorini, near Ba-Phalaborwa gate, is a reconstructed Ba-Phalaborwa hill village, with huts, grain storage areas, and an iron, smelting site.
There are two townships, Namakgale and Lulekani where the Pedi and Tsonga reside, and rural areas such as Mashishimale, Makushane and Ga-Maseke.It also the birth place of the babirwa baga malema who presently recide in the eastern part of botswana.
The town is known for being very hot, with daily temperatures often going above 35 °C in summer. It is often referred to as the land of two summers because its average winter temperature is about the same as the average summer temperature of the rest of South Africa. Ba-Phalaborwa is the perfect year-round holiday destination. It is the home of the famous African marula tree and Amarula Cream Liqueur.
