Polokwane 2010

Stadium: Peter Mokaba Stadium

Wide streets, colourful jacaranda and coral trees, parks and sparkling fountains characterise the principal town and capital of the Northern Province.

In addition to its status as a major commercial and agricultural centre, Polokwane (formerly Pietersburg) is the cultural hub of the region, featuring impressive art exhibitions and elegant historical buildings. In the vicinity, the countryside is the setting for some of the most prosperous cattle ranches in South Africa.

Strategically placed on the Great North Road, and halfway between Pretoria and the Zimbabwean border, this attractive city is a good base from which to explore.
