Chidenguele in Mozambique
Description:
70 km north of Xai Xai, the EN1 road to Beira winds to its closest brush with the Indian Ocean, only 5 km away. The countryside undulates gently, lush and green with pockets of coconut palms towering over cashew nut thickets - freshwater lakes dominate the area. Here, in a clearing, lies the tiny, sleepy village of Chidenguele (meaning "The Highest Point" in the local, Chope language). The village may only have one short street, but its name is emblazoned proudly in white stone on the hill behind the sandy soccer field. The cathedral (!), crisp and white on the opposite hill, seems quite out of place with its stained-glass windows. The rustic, African 'mercado' (market) and single shop, trickle out a supply of whatever fruit and vegetables are available, but always beer and pau (the legendary Mozambican bread).

Colesberg
Province: Northern Cape
Region: Upper Karoo
Description:
The first people to inhabit the Colesberg district were Stone Age hunters-gatherers. They were followed in the early 19th century by the missionaries. In 1814 a mission station was established in the hope of bringing peace to what was a very unruly frontier area of the Cape Colony. The town was founded in 1830 and named after Sir Lowrie Cole, Governor of the Cape Colony (1828-1833). The town is surrounded by koppies and Colesberg can be seen from a distance of more than 40km. The koppie is also known as "Towerberg" because the traveller can see it from miles away, but never seems to get near it. Colesberg was an important landmark for early travellers making their way into the unknown interior of southern Africa. For many travellers, Colesberg provides a convenient halfway stopover between Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Province: North West
