Limpopo Chefs Academy - State of the Art Culinary Training Facility

Limpopo is a province known for its vast cultural heritage and history, but not for its academic excellence.
 
Owner and founder, Chef Tommie Hurter, graduate of the Capital Hotel School, worked in Canada before returning to Pretoria to open up The Fly Lounge in Pretoria East. When visiting his home province of Limpopo, he was offered a position at Fusion Boutique Hotel before joining the Waterberg FET College as chef lecturer.
 
This is where he discovered his passion for teaching and to carry over his knowledge of the Hospitality Industry.
 

Polokwane Athletic Club

A running club with a difference.
 
The inaugural first running club in Polokwane (then Pietersburg) was formed in approximately 1971 and known as the Pietersburg Marathon Club. The Club staged the first marathon in Polokwane in 1972 and the race was run from Chuenespoort to the local cricket grounds.
 
During 1977 a second running club was formed to cater predominantly for juniors and long-distance track athletes. This Club was known as the Voete Athletic Club and chaired by Willem Smit

Celebration of Spring – Open Gardens Tzaneen 20 – 29 September 2019

Beautiful gardens are synonymous with Tzaneen and surrounding areas, and it is with great pleasure that a group of keen garden owners have decided to open their gardens to the public who would like to visit and appreciate the splendour of their tropical Lowveld gardens.

Although the area has recently been challenged with a very dry season, visitors will still be astounded by the lush profusion of blossoms and blooms for which this area is so well known for during springtime.

Venda Pottery of Mukondeni

Venda pottery is one of the most distinctive types of traditional South African craft art, perfect in its elegant simplicity. The eye-catching dark brown pots, decorated with red ochre and silver graphite from Venda’s Lalonde Mountains, look beautiful in every setting. Originally Venda pots served as low-tech “fridges”, as the thick clay keeps water fresh and cool. Today the pots are used mostly for decoration.
 

Khoja’s Modern Store, the Origin of Venda’s Colorful Stripes

Khoja’s Modern Store is a cultural institution in Louis Trichardt. This fabric shop and general dealer has been passed down through multiple generations and is the place to go in northern Limpopo to buy traditional Venda and Tsonga/Shangaan fabrics. And not only does Khoja’s sell traditional Venda fabric — the eye-catching, boldly colored cloth with thick, colorful stripes — the shop also played a role in creating it.
