LYDENBURG MUSEUM

Interesting visit for the replicas of three of the seven "Lydenburg Heads" in terracotta dating from the early Iron Age, the originals are in the Cape Town Museum. The town of Lydenburg is said to mean "the city of suffering". Its eponymous museum allows us to understand the little-known life and history of the Pedi tribes, a Bantu people who lived in the Transvaal and were then considered an ethnic sub-group of the Sotho people. It also provides information on the archaeological sites in the surrounding area.
