Today is spring day. It is also the beginning of heritage and tourism month.
It is worthwhile to celebrate our origins as human beings and take pride in our cultural values. This month we should take the time to visit our heritage sites, and get to know distinctly what a pleasure it is to view God’s Window in Graskop.
This is one special place, in my mind it truly reflects the wonders of God’s work as you are able to feel the inner connection with our Creator.
The potholes are another wonder, with the crystal-clear water down below. It is also complimented by The Three Rondavels, which is a Godly creation on its own.
My honest plea to our government is to preserve these heritage sites and vigorously market them worldwide.
These places have been neglected for a long time now, and this is where the government can raise much revenue. Family outings are important and it is the governments responsibility to ensure that these sites are in a good condition, and are safe to be visited at all times.
