Witbank Mpumalanga Highveld and Cosmos Information

Witbank is situated in the cultural heartland of Mpumalanga. The town’s name is derived form the “White Ridge” outcrop of sandstone where wagon transport drivers rested. Coal was discovered here by early travellers and the town was established in 1903. It is a large, bustling town. Farming in the surrounding areas includes potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize and sheep. The Witbank Dam is the largest municipal dam in the Southern Hemisphere where watersports such as parasailing can be enjoyed. Other activities in the area include 4x4 trail, hiking and birding. There are many attractive farm stalls and coffee shops to explore as well.
