NORTH WEST 530 Endured a Seven-Month Siege During the Second Anglo-Boer War 530 NORTH WEST — Introduction modernoverland.com modernoverland.com Introduction — NORTH WEST 531 North West The North West Province is probably best known for its precious metal mining and its two top tourist destinations: the over-the-top mega resort of Sun City and nearby Pilanesberg National Park - home NORTH WEST NORTH to the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino). But there is much more to check out in the North West Province beyond these two NORTH WEST NORTH popular sights. There are a few lesser-known game and nature reserves with great hiking trails that will allow you to experience the pleasant landscape away from the crowds. A handful of interior cities have their own distinct flavor, such as Rustenburg and its exploding funeral business or the laid-back but prosperous capital city of Mafikeng that endured a seven-month siege during the Second Anglo-Boer War. 532 NORTH WEST — Highlights modernoverland.commodernoverland.com modernoverland.commodernoverland.com Highlights — NORTHN11 N11R561 WESTR561 533 R572 R572 R561 R561 N11 N11 A1 A1 CH ap TE R H IGHLIGHT S R518 R518 North West ProvinceKang Kang LephalaleLephalale Mountain Sanctuary Park – Take an easy hike to check out impressive rock formations, then cool off in a private spring-fed pool so clean you can drink R510 R510 R33 R33 R518 R518 from it (p538) A A Sun City – Check out this bizarre, completely man-made fantasy collection R517 R517 of theme park attractions, hotels, and a casino and water park (p543) N N A1 A1 MolepololeMolepolole LIMPOPOLIMPOPO Pilanesberg National Park – Catch the Big 5 while surrounded by ancient R510 R510 A A R33 R33 volcanic hills in one of South Africa’s top national parks (p539) SekomaSekoma N1 N1 A2 A2 GaboroneGaborone Mafikeng – Brush up on some of your Anglo-Boer WarKhakhea historyKhakhea in the town WW MookgopongMookgopong R511 R511 that endured a painful 217-day siege (p545) R510 R510 S S R516 R516 Bela-BelaBela-BelaR516 R516 KanyeKanye R576 R576 T T R47 R47 A2 A2 N1 N1 PilanesburgPilanesburg MogwaseMogwase LobatseLobatse NationalNational Park Park WerdaWerda O O R510 R510 R375 R375 R568 R568 BlairbethBlairbeth R556 R556 MakopongMakopong R375 R375 Sun SunCity City WEST NORTH R47 R47 R511 R511 R378 R378 Bray Bray N4 N4 R565 R565 PhepengPhepeng B B N1 N1 MosenthalMosenthal R573 R573 ZeerustZeerust PhokengPhokeng Terra FirmaTerra Firma R510 R510 R556 R556 R568 R568 Groot GrootMariko MarikoN4 N4 N4 N4 R375 R375 RamatlabamaRamatlabama N4 N4 R375 R375 MolopoMolopo SwartruggensSwartruggens R52 R52 R513 R513 OttoshoopOttoshoop RustenburgRustenburg R514 R514 N18 N18 N4 N4 N4 N4 R378 R378 R47 R47 SuurfonteinSuurfontein MountainMountain R375 R375 PretoriaPretoria NORTH WEST NORTH KosterKoster R24 R24 SanctuarySanctuary Park Park Tosca Tosca MafikengMafikeng R53 R53 R377 LogagangR377 Logagang DerbyDerby N18 N18 R52 R52 BoonsBoons R375 R375 R375 R375 BakervilleBakerville N1 N1 TshabongTshabong R378 R378 R375 R375 R503 R505R503 R505 R52 R52 R30 R30 MorokwengMorokweng Piet PlessisPiet Plessis MareetsaneMareetsane R375 R375 LichtenburgLichtenburg JohannesburgGAUTENGJohannesburgGAUTENG R52 R52 R377 R377 R375 R375 N14 N14 R378 R378 ColignyColigny N14 N14 VentersdorpVentersdorp KatlehongKatlehong N18 N18 BodensteinBodenstein R501 R501 CraftholeCrafthole BiesiesvielBiesiesvielN14 N14 R51 R51 R507 R507 GerdauGerdau R500 R500 VereenigingVereeniging Stella Stella SannieshofSannieshof R30 R30 R501 N12R501 N12 GanyesaGanyesa N1 N1 KameelKameel N14 N14 R505 R505 R503 R503 R54 R54 R42 R42 R23 R23 R549 R549 DelareyvilleDelareyville R380 R380 PotchefstroomPotchefstroom R23 R23 R378 R378 N18 N18 N12 N12 VanderbijlparkVanderbijlpark N14 N14 R53 R53 R506 R506 R59 R59 R501 R501 N1 N1 KlerksdorpKlerksdorpR502 R502 R54 R54 N14 N14 MigdolMigdol Parys Parys VryburgVryburg R505 R505 N12 N12 R716 R716 Hallatt’sHallatt’s Hope Hope VredefortVredefortR549 R549 R31 R31 TierkloofTierkloof R59 R59 R31 R31 N14 N14 R34 R34R506 R506 R502 R502 R76 R76 R57 R57 R30 R30 R720 R720 WitpoortWitpoort R26 R26 IpelegengIpelegeng ViljoenskroonViljoenskroon Lykso Lykso N18 N18 WolmaransstadWolmaransstad R103 R103 HotazelHotazel R504 R504 LeeudoringstadLeeudoringstad AmaliaAmalia R504 R504 R721 R721 HelbronHelbron R76 R76 R34 R34 N14 N14 MakwassieMakwassieR504 R504 R371 R371 R504 R504 R720 R720 KoofsfonteinKoofsfontein N1 N1 R34 R34 R727 R727 R380 R380 PudimoePudimoe KurumanKuruman R34 R34 N12 N12 R30 R30 R57 R57R707 R707 N18 N18 R506 R506 R82 R82 N14 N14 R76 R76 NORTHERNNORTHERN ReiviloReivilo R372 R372 TaungTaung R59 R59 R372 R372 R34 R34 R31 R31 BloemhofBloemhof R725 R725 FREEFREE KroonstadKroonstad Petrus PetrusStyn Styn R34 R34 CAPECAPE PostmasburgPostmasburg N12 N12 R59 R59 R57 R57 R707 R707 R371 R371 R34 R34 R720 R720 R373 R373 N18 N18 HoopstadHoopstad R34 R34 WesselsbronSTATEWesselsbronSTATE R76 R76 N1 N1 N14 N14 ChristianaChristiana R76 R76 R59 R59 WelkomWelkom R34 R34 R57 R57 OlifantshoekOlifantshoek R708 R708 R2620miR26 R31 R31 N12 N12 R700 R700 R719 R719 R76 R76 R710 R710R30 R30 50km R720 R720 N14 N14 WarrentonWarrenton BultfonteinBultfontein 534 NORTH WEST — History modernoverland.com modernoverland.com Rustenburg — NORTH WEST 535 HISTORY effort against the Boer republic from Mafikeng. join the democratic transition of South Africa in Beyers Naude St & Nelson Mandela Dr) is located This attempt, which later became known as the the early 1990s.

  • CHAPTER! INTRODUCTION Almost Every Activity of Man Uses Land And
    CHAPTER! INTRODUCTION Almost every activity of man uses land and as human numbers and activities multiply, land has become a scarce resource. Land varies greatly in character, productivity and accessibility from place to place (Hawkies, 1978). Communication therefore becomes essential as it dictates variety of ways and alternative ways of utilizing a particular area of land (Whiteby & Willis, 1978). Communication should be understood in one of the following ways in order for one to realise his/her goals: (I) as a glue that holds everything together and a mutual process (Manning, 1987; Rogers & Kincaid, 1981). (2) Not simply the transfer ofinformation which leads to action, nor is it simply a message given, a message and receiver, rather, it begins with pre-set understanding which make effective communication possible and probable and it must start in the right way (Reilly & Di Angelo, 1990; Manning, 1987; Sanford, 1982). (3) As intercourse by words, letters or messages, interchange of thoughts or opinion by individuals, groups or public (Sereno & Mortensen, 1970; Williams, 1992). If communication is used wisely and effectively it can affect changes in the use of land use, not only applying for profitable use, but also for misuse and disuse. It is important to note that with communication, as with other types of activities, it is necessary to have criteria by which it is possible to gauge the success or failures of efforts (Fourie, 1984). It is not always possible to have exact indications such as "number of units produced" or "amount of money collected" because it is sometimes impossible to make external or objective measurements.
