Preserving diverse cultures is the order of the day in Groot Marico in the North West, with residents sharing their knowledge through various activities held in the area.
It is also known as the capture site of former President Jacob Zuma in 1963. He was travelling with other Umkhonto we Sizwe MK recruits to Botswana for military training. You can also not leave the town without tasting some of its Mampoer and local coffee.
Groot Marico was established in 1850, and years later developed into a town. It was made popular by writer Herman Charles Bosman, who was a teacher back then.
