  • MERWEVILLE ADVICE OFFICE and Development Centre Access to Justice
    MERWEVILLE ADVICE OFFICE AND DEVELOPMENT CENTRE ACCESS TO JUSTICE Merweville is a small Karoo town which lies between the Swart and Nuweveld mountains 45km north-west of Prince Albert Road and 130km south-east of Beaufort West.1 The town’s desolation and aridity has a close resemblance to the Arizona and Nevada desert in the US, and is a popular location for filmmakers. It was one of the few towns or villages in the Western Cape province not to be serviced by a sealed highway until the 40 km stretch of gravel road from the N1 was tarred in 2015.2 Prior to this Merweville (the villagers call it Mirville) could only be reached by driving long distances along dirt roads between Fraserburg, Sutherland and Prince Albert station. The town was established on the farm Vanderbylskraal in 1904 and administered by a village management board from 1921. It was named after the Reverend P van der Merwe (1860-1940), the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in Beaufort West and chairman of the church council which established the town.3 The total population of the town according to the 2011 census was 1,592 with 9.3% identifying as Black African, 78.8% as Coloured and 8.8% as White. The majority speak Afrikaans (95%).4 Merweville Advice Office is a developing local Advice Office based in the small rural town. The LDA assists farm workers with unfair dismissals and UIF. They also organise youth in the community to deal with issues of unemployment and skills development. 1. Merweville, Western Cape - Karoo Space.
