MMABANA CULTURAL
The Mmabana Cultural Centre is dedicated to celebrating and educating visitors about the heritage, arts and sports of the North West Province of South Africa. Further than this, the centre also aims to nurture and develop a real appreciation for the cultures that characterise the Rainbow Nation, as South Africa is known for its diversity.
With its modern style and forward-thinking approach, the Mmabana Cultural Centre is also a popular tourist attraction. This is because it showcases the arts, crafts and cultures of the communities and towns in its immediate vicinity, and the province at large.
Visitors to the cultural centre can look forward to seeing local work; including pottery, quilting, beading, sewing, and sculpture. Sport, dance and music are also important elements of this centre, and have formed integral focal points for those who are part of this initiative.
The Mmabana Cultural Centre is a non-profit organisation that uplifts and develops the local communities.
Visitors to the Bophirima area are invited to enjoy a cultural adventure at the Mmabana Cultural Centre to get a real taste of the different aspects of the North West Province.
TAUNG SKULL
In the heart of the Bophirima region of the North West Province of South Africa, amidst the farmlands and sprawling landscapes, is the Taung Skull Heritage Site. South Africa has long been considered to be the Cradle of Humankind by a number of archaeologists, historians and anthropologists, thanks to some of the fossilised remains that appear to support this claim. Of these, the Taung Skull is one of the most significant finds.
This is a child’s skull that was found at the Buxton Quarry in 1924, and is believed to be about 2.5 million years old, killed by a large prehistoric bird of prey. Today, it is part of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, as deemed by UNESCO. Visitors will be plunged into an archaeological wonder world that is full of fascinating insights into an ancient world. Any site has to fulfil a number of strict criteria to qualify as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, testifying to the value of this attraction.
A monument has been erected at the site of the discovery to mark its significance. Of course, the Buxton Quarry is no longer being mined, but is still being used as a significant scientific research hub. However, it also exudes an ambience of quiet serenity and makes for an idyllic spot in which to get away from the ‘real world’ and enjoy the tranquillity that only the outdoors can bring. The wonder of this region are nothing short of breath-taking, and visitors are reminded to bring their cameras along.
The nearby Blue Pools are spectacular for picnics and braais. The many caves, rock basins and streams of this area also make this the perfect spot for those who enjoy stunning backdrops while they go hiking and abseiling.
Bophirima, formerly known as Stellaland, is an agricultural area that also boasts many game farms. As such, it is, in itself, gaining international acclaim as a restful escape for tourists.
