LIMPOPO © for The2010worldcup, Besure Toalsogetoutoftown © Lonely Planet 482 Limpopo If South Africa’s northernmost province sounds familiar, it could be from Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories, in which the curious young elephant treks to ‘the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever trees’. While Kipling’s pachyderm unintentionally gains a trunk, curious humans might, similarly, cross Limpopo to access Kruger National Park and stumble upon the less-visited Valley of the Olifants. The subtropical area packs in misty Magoebaskloof, where waterfalls crash in the forests, and mysterious Modjadji, home of rain-summoning queens and Modjadji palms (cycads). The mystique continues in the Venda region, a traditional area where a python god is believed to live in Lake Fundudzi, and artists produce highly original work. And that’s just to the east of the N1. To the west, attractions include the Waterberg, where the Big Five, the endangered Cape vulture and, yes, fever trees are found in the mountains. Heading north from there, the savannah gives way to the Soutpansberg, an island of biodiversity with 540 bird species, and secluded lodges at the top of steep tracks. Then the baobab trees appear, and the empty roads lead to Mapungubwe National Park, where the remains of a millennium-old civilisation overlook the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers. With icons ranging from Mapungubwe’s gold-plated rhino figurine to ‘Breaker’ Morant, the second Anglo-Boer War folk hero, Limpopo is an extraordinarily diverse province. If one thing unites its tourist operators, including Fair Trade lodges and art or birding routes, it’s that they offer visitors something completely different. So if you come to Polokwane for the 2010 World Cup, be sure to also get out of town.

  • A Journey to Limpopo Wetlands
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ENVIRONMENT AND TOURISM STATE OF WETLANDS IN THE LIMPOPO PROVINCE Directorate: Biodiversity Management C/o Suid & Voortrekker Street, POLOKWANE, 0700, Private Bag X9484, POLOKWANE, 0700 Tel: (015) 293 8300, Fax: (015) 295 4120 Website: http/www.limpopo.gov.za 1. Introduction Ramsar Convention on wetlands conservation and wise use was adopted in Ramsar city, Iran in 1971 as contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world. Ramsar Convention also works hand in hand with other convention such as Convention on biological diversity and other related organizations. As contracting party (country member) of Ramsar convention South Africa had designated about 12 wetlands as Ramsar site or site of international importance. Nysvley Nature Reserve and Makuleke floodplain are the two Ramsar sites in the Limpopo Province. According to Ramsar Convention wetlands are area of marshes, fen, peatland, wet grassland, lakes, estuaries, mangroves and coral reefs, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres. Wetlands have different names following the four dominant languages in the Limpopo province, nhlangasi (in Tsonga), Mohlaka or Monyuka (in Pedi) Maroroma or Matzhava (in Venda) and Vlei (in Afrikaans) Conservation, wise use and management of wetlands requires partnership of relevant government departments (e.g. Agriculture, Water Affairs and Forestry, Environmental Affairs and Tourism), local authorities (Municipalities and traditional), Non-governmental organizations (e.g. Working for Wetland, Mondi wetlands project) and other relevant research institutions. As a results wetland stakeholders in the Limpopo Province network and interact through the Limpopo wetlands Forum which is informally coordinated and chaired by SANBI (Working for Wetland) World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year on 2nd of February throughout South Africa and international community.

  • THE HISTORY of the PIETERSBURG [POLOKWANE] JEWISH COMMUNITY by CHARLOTTE WIENER Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements
    THE HISTORY OF THE PIETERSBURG [POLOKWANE] JEWISH COMMUNITY by CHARLOTTE WIENER Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject JUDAICA at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: MR CEDRIC GINSBERG NOVEMBER 2006 SUMMARY Jews were present in Pietersburg [Polokwane] from the time of its establishment in 1868. They came from Lithuania, England and Germany. They were attracted by the discovery of gold, land and work opportunities. The first Jewish cemetery was established on land granted by President Paul Kruger in 1895. The Zoutpansberg Hebrew Congregation, which included Pietersburg and Louis Trichardt was established around 1897. In 1912, Pietersburg founded its own congregation, the Pietersburg Hebrew Congregation. A Jewish burial society, a benevolent society and the Pietersburg-Zoutpansberg Zionist Society was formed. A communal hall was built in 1921 and a synagogue in 1953. Jews contributed to the development of Pietersburg and held high office. There was little anti-Semitism. From the 1960s, Jews began moving to the cities. The communal hall and minister’s house were sold in 1994 and the synagogue in 2003. Only the Jewish cemetery remains in Pietersburg. 10 key words: 1] Pietersburg [Polokwane] 2] Zoutpansberg 3] Anglo-Boer War 4] Jew 5] Synagogue 6] Cemetery 7] Rabbi 8] Hebrew 9] Zionist 10] Anti-Semitism ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following: Mr Cedric Ginsberg, my supervisor, for his invaluable assistance, patience and meticulous corrections The late Mr Wally Levy for his information concerning families and events in the Northern Transvaal.

A thunderstorm intercepted the flight path to Roedtan. .The pilot was fatally injured. The helicopter was destroyed in the accident. An investigation determined that the pilot may have experienced spatial disorientation from which he could not recover.
