Town of the week - Fouriesburg─── 16:23 Thu, 04 Nov 2021
Seeing that Aaron hasn't been able to fully explore Central South Africa due to the pandemic, he decided to take little tours at least once a week. He starts his journey in the Eastern Free State town of Fouriesburg.
The Eastern Free State town of Fouriesburg is in the scenic Brandwater Basin, surrounded by the Maluti, Rooiberg and Witteberg mountain ranges, on the border of Lesotho.
It is named after Christoffel Fourie, on whose farm, Groenfontein, it was established in 1892.
During the Anglo Boer War, it was declared the capital of the Orange Free State Republic – a proclamation yet to be rescinded! For more information on Fouriesburg, click here or here.
Maybe your next adventure stop could be in Fouriesburg.
