EDITORS COMMENTS
Mare Street, Zoutpansberg, Transvaal, South Africa (circa 1902): A glimpse into the past of this quaint South African town. The photograph captures the wide, dusty street of Mare Street in Zoutpansberg, Transvaal, South Africa, circa 1902. Salt Pan Hill, a prominent landmark in the background, adds to the picturesque scene. The basic buildings on either side of the street, with their whitewashed walls and thatched roofs, exude a sense of simplicity and tranquility. Pedestrians, dressed in the fashion of the early 1900s, can be seen going about their daily business on the cobblestone road. A horse-drawn coach, a common mode of transportation during that era, is parked near the office building, adding to the bustling atmosphere. The trees lining the street provide a welcome respite from the harsh African sun. Zoutpansberg, also known as Salt Pan Hill, is a historic town located in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. The town was established in the late 1800s during the South African War and gained significance due to its strategic location near the salt pans. The town's name is derived from the Dutch words 'zout' meaning salt and 'pan' meaning a shallow, flat-bottomed container used for cooking or holding liquid. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the people of Zoutpansberg during the early 1900s. The simple charm of the town, with its rustic buildings and laid-back atmosphere, continues to draw visitors from all over the world, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in South African history and culture.
