The Kamoka Open Africa Route is a project still in its
beginning phase.
The Kamoka Open Africa Route will cover areas such as:-
- KwaMhlanga,
- Kwaggafontein,
- Siyabuswa,
- Greater Marble Hall,
- Greater Groblersdal,
- Stoffberg,
- Roossenekal and many other
small villages and townships.
It will also pass through two
District Municipalities,
- the Nkangala District Municipality
and
- the Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality.
The
general Route area is located about 100km northeast of
Pretoria, South Africa’s capital city situated in Gauteng
Province, the smallest yet the richest province in the
country.
The Route will be in what was once called the “KwaNdebele
Homeland”, which the area was given to the Ndebele people by
the apartheid government in its failed Bantustan policy.
There are other tribes such as the Pedi, and Bantwana (an
offshoot of the Tswana tribe) living in the area, and this
Route highlights their cultures preserved through the ages.
It historically tells of the struggle of these indigenous
people to maintain their culture and their heritage against
tremendous odds. This Route is about how the people here
decided to work together despite their differences in order
to make the region a prosperous one from a tourist point of
view in the interests of sustainable economic growth. There
could not be a better way to unite these people than by the
name they chose to be known by, Kamoka, which means
together.
