The National Department of Tourism proudly invites you to a celebration of rural tourism in the picturesque town of Wupperthal. This town is a well-known Moravian mission station, home to the oldest shoe factory in South Africa as well as being renowned for its rooibos cosmetic products.
At this festive event, the Minister of Tourism, Mr Marthinus van Schalkwyk, will present the Department's Rural Tourism Strategy as well as unveiling the Third Phase of the Donkey Cart Project in this area.
This is a community-driven tourism product which not only offers visitors an unique experience of the Cederberg but has also greatly assisted in community development, economic empowerment and poverty alleviation. It also epitomises rural tourism. Phase three also sees a further injection of R20 million by the department through its Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP).
