The History of Malelane

It's All in a Name

©Roger de la Harpe

Malelane’s name derives from the Swazi word ‘emlalani’, which means ‘Land of Lala Palms’. It is also possible that it could refer to the Swazi word meaning ‘guardians’ taken from a tribe that lived nearby to the area.

Malelane was originally a farm owned by Captain Joseph ‘Mokonto’ Elphick, who later sold the land to a Mr. Andrews of Barberton. Andrews eventually split up the land and sold them to various buyers.

Ideal Farming Conditions

The new landowners developed their properties and built shops around the train station. With the building of the station, Malelane got its own post office in 1952. In 1961, a Church was erected as more housing was developed in the town.

Due to Malelane’s low-lying position and hot climate, it made ideal farming conditions for fruit farming and growing a sugar plantation. The sugar industry had changed the economy of Malelane allowing the town to prosper. Malelane has developed into a flourishing tourist spot with its own small airport and accommodation businesses.

The Place of the Rising Sun

The history of the province

It is difficult to conceive of an area of greater historical, scenic and wildlife diversity anywhere in the world, and a journey to South Africa would not be complete without a visit to this province. Indeed, in the South African context, Mpumalanga is already rated as one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.

Attractions range from game viewing and bird watching, to scenic drives across the valleys and peaks of the vast Drakensberg escarpment. Historical sites and villages, old wagon routes and monuments mark events and characters who passed before in search of adventure and wealth.

Anecdotes abound The story of Jock of the Bushveld, a Staffordshire bull terrier whose hunting exploits during his life in the lowveld were immortalised in the story of the same name, by the famous pioneer Sir Percy Fitzpatrick. The story, popular with all age groups, characterises much of the lifestyle of the early days in the lowveld.

The cultural heritage of the province is both varied and exciting. From the Ndebele beadwork and house painting in the north west to the crafts of the lowveld, a unique insight is offered into the history, lives and passions of the people.
