MAPUNGUBWE.

MAPUNGUBWE. This place is special to me. I visited Mapungubwe back in 2007 while they were just refashioning tourism in the region. It's not mainstream for South Africa and really shouldn't be; nonetheless it has something that everyone should see. There is a beauty, peace and sense of history in Mapungubwe that should be experienced for years to come. I'd be extremly saddened to see its conservation fall away to coal mining.
