NORTHERN CAPE — Introduction Modernoverland.Com Modernoverland.Com Introduction — NORTHERN CAPE 553 552 NORTHERN CAPE — Introduction modernoverland.com modernoverland.com Introduction — NORTHERN CAPE 553 Northern Cape The arid Kalahari Desert and the grassy plains and mountains of the Great Karoo dominate the Northern Cape. Every so often, a herd of animals or burst of foliage feeding off the Orange River and its tributaries punctuates the harsh and dry terrain. Though the Northern Cape makes up nearly one-third of South Africa, it remains the country’s most sparsely populated province and is dominated by Afrikaner culture. There are only two large cities within the province and driving between any sizeable town can easily take the better half of a day. The province’s capital, Kimberley, is best known for its history in the CAPE NORTHERN diamond industry and today boasts the largest manmade excavation in the world, aptly named the Big Hole. However, most visitors who are drawn to the Northern Cape stray far from its cities. It is in the region’s NORTHERN CAPE NORTHERN more rural lands where the Cape reveals its rich history of the Khoisan and Afrikaners, country hospitality, unique geology, millions of fossils dating back to the Triassic period, and a handful of beautifully rugged National Parks. 554 NORTHERN CAPE — Highlights C19 C19modernoverland.com modernoverland.com Highlights — NORTHERN CAPE 555 M24 M24 A2 A2 C11 C11 A A C27 C27 C14 C14 N N C hapter H igh L ights A A C15 C15 B1 B1 WW R378 R378 Northern Cape S S MafikengMafikeng Augrabies Falls National Park - Mar- R375 R375 KgalagadiKgalagadi T T R375 R375 vel at the awesome power of the Orange C17 TransfrontierC17 Transfrontier Park Park NAMIBIANAMIBIA C11 C11 R377 R377 River plunging down into a granite gorge C13 C13 C14 C14 O O R375 R375 R380 R380 that rifts the land for kilometers (p. 570) B B R507 R507 LuderitzLuderitzB4 B4 KeetmanshoopKeetmanshoop NORTHNORTH Aus Aus AansluitAansluit R377 R377 R380 R380 Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park - Stalk B4 B4 C16 C16 N14 N14 AndriesvaleAndriesvale Van ZylsrusVan Zylsrus WESTWEST predators and the migratory herds that WitdraiWitdrai VryburgVryburg R31 R31 R34 R34 drink from a network of watering holes B1 B1 SonstraalSonstraalR31 R31 N14 N14 as they pass through the Kalahari Desert HotazelHotazel R504 R504 C13 C13 (p. 567) BanknaraBanknara C11 C11 R380 R380 KurumanKuruman R506 R506 DibengDibengN14 N14 R360 R360 Ga SegonyanaGa Segonyana Kimberley - Stare into the depths of KathuKathu N12 N12 C12 C12 N14 N14 R373 R373 the Big Hole - the largest hand-dug exca- OlifantshoekOlifantshoek R371 R371 RictersveldRictersveld KarasburgKarasburg R31 R31 R708 R708 vation on earth - in the diamond mining B3 B3 R370 R370 NationalNational Park Park R325 R325 Mt.

A renewed sense of optimism has provided a much-needed boost to confidence and investment. The economic outlook has improved. And government has expressed a new resolve to strengthen policy coordination. Yet this positive turn of events should not blind us to the enormous economic and fiscal challenges facing our country. Economic growth is far too low to reduce alarmingly high unemployment and inequality. Revenue collection, on which government depends to fund social and economic spending programmes, will fall short of projections by R48.2 billion in 2017/18. The finances of several state- owned companies are in a precarious state. The 2017 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) pointed out that extraordinary measures would be needed to stabilise the public finances. Without such measures, we would only delay the debt reckoning, and a growing share of spending would be absorbed by interest payments. The 2018 Budget proposals address these concerns with resolve.
