Sabie Town Case Study
Task 1
Description
Sabie town is situated in South Africa Mpumalanga province the original peoples of the eastern variety region were the Bushmen (San people) as can be realized from the rock paintings, designs, articles and stone tools found in the area.

The Sabie town area has always been malaria-free. For this reason pioneers in days of old used the area for their base camps when hunting and exploring down into the Lowveld. The river was often in overflow and crocodiles, later the local Shangaan people called it uluSaba - "the river of fear". It is from this Shangaan word that the town's name was derived.
During a hunting tour in 1871, run by the famous hunter - Henry Thomas Glynn - a lost shot cut a rock and open a rich gold reef. This started a gold-rush into the area and soon many indigenous forests were destroyed to supply firewood and later mine legs. Fortunately the Joseph Brook Shires realized that man-made forests would be necessary. He planted the first commercial trees in 1876 and today Sabie is surrounded by one of the world's largest man-made …show more content…
