Musina / Messina

Musina has the distinction of being the most northern town in South Africa and the main port of entry from North Africa into South Africa. It is situated 540 m above sea level in the midst of the well-known Limpopo Valley. The dry bushveld provides excellent climate for the cultivation of citrus, mangoes and tomatoes as the main agricultural products. Today the town is the centre of a large iron ore, coal, magnetite, graphite, asbestos, diamond, semi-precious stone and copper mining area. Musina is steeped in the history of mining, with rich deposits of copper, iron, minerals and diamonds still found in the area. In autumn, dates are harvested and a truly unique product is produced, namely date liqueur. The harvest is small therefore the liqueur is still very exclusive and not available anywhere else in the world. Two other attractions for which Musina is known worldwide, are the baobab trees and impala lilies.
