unreferenced date March 2012 copyedit date February 2012 There s a story that if the top boulder of the Lonehill Koppie were dislodged, all the whites in the country would leave. It s a latter day version of an Anglo Boer War tale that if the Boers dislodged the rock, the British would lose the war and leave South Africa . Whatever version you fancy, the top boulder, which balances on several larger boulders, is still firmly there and although some whites have emigrated, most are just as firmly still in the country. The Lonehill Koppie is beautiful it stands out as a lone koppie on the northern border of the city s suburbs, some 28 kilometres north of the city centre, and is a reminder of what Johannesburg used to look like before it was settled rocky veld with small streams trickling through it, dotted with shrubs, small trees and knee high grasses. Guinea fowl and porcupine s used to roam the area around the Koppie, and it s now populated with dozens of dassie s. There s a small dam, called Lonehill Loch, around 200 metres north of the Koppie, a popular walking spot for local residents. The Koppie is largely made up of large boulders, called tor rocks, very old rocks, with trees and indigenous shrub s now almost obscuring the rocks except for the very top boulders. The room size boulders of Lonehill have a special quality to them, their towering height and massive shapes overwhelming one on the short hike to the top. These days it is surrounded by cluster home estates & developments, in places right up to its perimeter. It is a plot of around 20 acres, with veld surrounding the koppie, which is around 80 metres high. It is fenced and locked, but unlocked on the weekends, allowing hikers and picnickers to climb to the top, or just lay out a picnic blanket in its surrounding grassy area. It is an extremely significant site it has three Stone Age furnace s in the veld below the Koppie. These were excavated in the 1960s by Professor Revil Mason, formerly head of archa ... more details

Bushmanland Boesmanland in Afrikaans is a name applied to two different territories one in Namibia and one in South Africa. Though they have points of resemblance, they do not adjoin. One of the territories called Bushmanland was a bantustan in South West Africa present day Namibia , intended by the apartheid government to be a self government self governing homeland for the ethnic San or Bushmen . Despite this, a government was not established in the region. The Namibian Bushmanland, like other homelands in South West Africa, was abolished in May 1989 at the start of the transition to independence . The South African Bushmanland is an arid area inland from Namaqualand . It is probably the most inhospitable area in South Africa, arid and largely with infertile soil and highly saline groundwater. Its wildlife however, both fauna and flora, though sparse, are full of interest. Although the veld is too arid to bloom like that of the Wast Coast of Namaqualand, even when there is some spring rain, what does appear is highly unusual and often hauntingly beautiful. Vaalputs , a Nuclear waste repository, has been sited between Bushmanland and Namaqualand, and acts as a de facto nature reserve.

The area around Mankayane is also covered in small homesteads where traditional forms of agriculture are carried out. Other small irrigation schemes now exist providing a cash cropping basis for some local farmers. One such scheme is Ntamakuphila. The areas to the West and South of Mankayane are Swazi Nation Land SNL . These areas are tribal lands. That is they are administered under traditional systems of land tenure where a chief gives land to men, enough for their wives and children to use. This happens at the point at which these men give Khonta , or allegiance,to the Chief. Individuals do not own the land they have rights of usufruct , rights to use land as they need it for their families. To the north are the manmade forests and these sit in Individually Tenured Land ITL . These pieces of land comprising almost 50 of the country are those areas taken over for use as farms and industry at the time of colonisation. These areas are privately owned originally by English or Afrikaans farmers and increasingly by indigenous or naturalised Swazi.

The ecoregion has a seasonally moist, tropical to subtropical climate. Rainfall ranges from 1000 mm per year near the coast to less than 600 mm per year inland. Most of the rain falls in the summer months. Rainfall diminishes away from the coast, and the coastal forest mosaic yields to drier tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands . The ecoregion comprises a mosaic of different plant communities, including forest, savanna , woodland, palm veld, grassland , and wetland habitats. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature , 14 of the ecoregion is protected in reserves.
