The Cultural Heartland of Mpumalanga gives new meaning to the words Rainbow Nation.

The local art is a festival of bright colours incorporated in daily life where every colour, shape and size has its own unique meaning.

The multi-coloured Ndebele houses displayed on postcards are also favourite collectors items.

Intricate beadwork

The intricate beadwork are done and worn mainly by the Ndebele women and has fascinated the world all over. Crafts by these nifty artisans are well known and very sought after.

Cultural villages dispersed throughout this area welcome their visitors with the warmest African welcome, where the finer points of this riveting culture are shared.

The Cultural Heartland has established itself as a corporate giant through its steel and mining industry, which includes the mining of a very rare kind of marble at the appropriately named Marble Hall.

Witbank is considered the energy centre of South Africa, because it is the centre point of Africa's largest coalfields and steel manufacturing. This is also where a young war journalist named Winston Churchill hid, after his escape from Pretoria during the Second World War.

The Witbank Dam is the largest dam in the Southern Hemisphere and has a catchment area of about 3540 kilometres. Considerably, water leisure in the region is a huge attraction. At the Loskop Dam Nature Reserve even game watching from a boat can be prebooked!

The farming industry produces large quantities of especially oranges and cotton. This complete paradox is explored through agricultural tours to show the extent of keeping the fine balance of nature.

The Cultural Heartland will make your senses come alive with colourful sights, traditional foods and fine establishments fit for kings.
