21TOURISM: POTCHEFSTROOM, SOUTH AFRICA
Potchefstroom ●City of Expertise ● Motswe Wa Boitseanape ● Stad van Deskundigheid
Location
Known as the gateway to the North West province of South Africa, the pretty town of Potchefstroom (or
‘Potch’ as it is lovingly known to the locals) graces the beautiful banks of the Mooi River along the N12 only
an hour’s drive (roughly 120km) from Johannesburg, Gauteng. ‘Mooi’, meaning ‘beautiful’ in Afrikaans, aptly
describes this lovely river and its stunning surrounds – the landscape along the Mooi River is truly mind-
blowing in its natural beauty, offering plenty of outdoor attractions that’ll delight nature lovers and adventure
seekers alike.
Potchefstroom is an immensely popular academic city
and is home to the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-
West University (previously known as the Potchefstroom
University for Christian Higher Education), a few other
tertiary education institutions, and numerous schools. As
such, the city buzzes with the vibrant vitality of youth
wherever you go. The Bult is an especially popular
student hangout with its splendid selection of restaurants
and pubs humming with activity day and night. But that
is not all this picturesque city with its gorgeous tree-lined avenues has to offer. The area is one of the country’s
main agricultural hubs; it is home to South Africa’s largest chalk factory; it offers loads of historical, cultural,
and natural attractions, and it is imbued with an absolutely unforgettable character and atmosphere all its own.
Established in 1838, Potchefstroom was the very first
European settlement north of the Vaal River. Today, this
lovely city has a rich, strong, and very varied historical and
cultural heritage. The largest oak tree-lined avenue in the
southern hemisphere is found here and the city is also home
to many marvellous national monuments, such as the old
police station, the magistrate’s office, the Heimat building,
the Kruger Kraal Opstal, and the old gunpowder house.
There are also numerous exquisite old churches around town
that exemplify the architecture of old in this part of the
world, notably the St Mary’s Anglican Church that was built
in 1891 and is famous for its impressive and most grand
stained glass windows. Yet another historical building, the Edwardian City Hall (along with the Krugersdorp
City Hall) is the oldest remaining city hall this side of the Vaal River. Potchefstroom is also home to plenty of
fascinating museums. One of the most popular among them is the Potchefstroom Museum which offers riveted
22tourists a glimpse into the city and its inhabitant’s mesmerising history and also offers insight into the
colourful culture of the Tswana people that inhabit the region at present.
Art lovers will be enthralled by the performances that are put on at the Sanlam Auditorium and other terrific
theatres around town. There is also a fabulous art market that takes place on a monthly basis in the city council
gardens
Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts are urged to
add the following attractions to their itineraries.
The Faan Meintjies Nature Reserve, situated a
mere 13km from town, is home to about 30
species of game, including rhino, and roughly 150
species of bird.
The Klerksdorp Dam is ideally situated just 10km from Klerksdorp alongside the road to Ventersdorp. The
town’s municipal gardens (known as Plant House), the Johan Neser Dam, and the Schoonspruit are all
breathtakingly beautiful and home to plenty of pretty bird life. Golf enthusiasts are spoilt for choice as there
are numerous fantastic golf courses in and around town.
As already mentioned, Potchefstroom is also host to plenty of outstanding outdoor attractions. Over 200
species of birds call the trees of the OPM Prozesky bird sanctuary home, while the Buffelsvlei Wild Animal
Park and the Highveld National Park are absolute musts for nature lovers. Dome Bergland Nature Park is
home to an almost unbelievable 2 000 million year old meteorite crash site measuring roughly 80km in
diameter. Along with this amazing attraction, the park boasts numer ous sight-seeing, hiking, mountain
climbing, river rafting, canoeing, mountain biking, abseiling, and fly fishing opportunities. Keen yachting
enthusiasts and able sailors can often be found enjoying the tranquil waters of the Boskop Dam which is
situated in the lovely Boskop Dam Nature Reserve. The splendid holiday resorts situated on the banks of the
Potchefstroom Dam on the Mooi River provide fun in the sun and all manner of exciting water sports for all
