About Machadodorp
In the 21st century, Machadodorp's residents either work for the industries feeding a chrome smelter, or the logging industries based on the pine plantations surrounding the town. A large contingent of contract workers employed at the Nkomati mine about an hour's drive out of town also reside in Machadodorp, contributing a large part of the town's economy. The hills around the town are terraced with thousands of stone walls which form part of a vast complex of settlements, fields and roads. Some tour guides describe these as South Africa's "real" lost city.[3] South of Machadodorp, on the lands of the farm Rietvlei lies the former Bokoni capital Moxomatsi. Archaeologists and historians have described the ruins as settlements of the baKoni people. Oral records and historical evidence trace
