Here is a free market in Bela-Bela where they sell the hand made arts, clay pots, cultural beads, etc. This place attracts lot of the tourists who visits SA because they are impressed about work of people who make this art. As you can see that there are different types of animals in this picture and they also sell the Big Five hand made animals.

Bela-Bela Old Cemetry

This is a grave of Christinah Pretorius,the reason why it is so big it's because of she was the wife of the Voortrekkers leader Andries Pretorius. The old cemetry is one of the historical interesting place that you can visit in Bela-Bela and learn a lot from this place as much as i did. She is not the only person who was buried in Bela-Bela, some of the soldiers was buried here.

BELA-BELA TOUR


My name is Molatelo Elizabeth Rahlaga, I'm from North West , but now i stay in Bela-Bela at Limpopo Province. I study tourist guiding & German language at Sondela Academy. At this picture I'm sitting on the monument at Bele-Bela old cemetry that was placed by the government to honour some of the soldiers who died during the second Anglo-Boer War in 1889-1902. The wife of the Voortrekkers leader Christinah Pretorius was also buried at this place.There are lot of interesting history sites in Bela-Bela. One day i want to see myself as a qualified guide, i want to tour around SA and get a chance to see our country , i'm willing to learn a lot about our country because when the tourists come to visit our country they want to learn about SA & i must give them the right information. I like my job because you meet different people from different places with the different cultures and we learn a lot from each other, we have fun & enjoy ourselves.
