Central District
The Central District of the North-West Province is mostly characterised by hot, dry bushveld between life-sustaining river systems, and is sparsely populated with wide opens spaces and farms – quintessentially ‘ South African’. It includes the Marico district, around the Groot Marico river and the tiny town of Groot Marico – famous for its Afrikaans culture and literary history, and for being a bit backward (they only recently got an automatic telephone exchange).
