The Transkei and the Mdantsane township are closely linked. You might ask why ? In basically every family who resides in Mdantsane you will find a person who has a connection to the former homeland of the Transkei that had been established under the Aparheid regime as a " self governed bantustan reserve ". The establishment of such a reserve was an experiment at the time. But today the Transkei is one of the purest places in Africa displaying a true and unique African identity.
This means that most of the people have still a connection to the rural areas of the Eastern Cape. Before the holidays you can hear people talking about " going back to their location ". The location is their home, their place of birth and origin. For many this place is a village in the Transkei.

The Transkei is a blessed land of plenty with green rolling hills, rich soil on which you can grow basically everything. It is a land of mighty bulls. It is a land where the Nguni cattle reign.
Over centuries this region has kept and preserved it's wild beauty.
It is a land of abundance, especially after long and heavy rainfalls like we had them this year. A land where the traditions of the Xhosa people are lived and are very well alive.
i must say it was my first time in tsomo but i really enjoyed the scenary
