Mpumalanga lies in eastern South Africa, north of KwaZulu-Natal and bordering Swaziland and Mozambique. The name means: the place where the sun rises and this province is known for its extraordinary natural beauty. Typical of its landscape are forests, mountains, rivers, waterfalls and panoramic passes offering magnificent views. The Drakensberg Escarpment divides Mpumalanga into a westerly half consisting mainly of high-altitude grassland called the Highveld and an eastern half situated in low altitude subtropical Lowveld/Bushveld.
More than 68% of the province is utilised by agriculture and forestry. There is also extensive mining and the province accounts for 83% of South Africa's coal production. Mpumalanga is a popular tourism destination featuring the Kruger National Park, Blyde River Canyon and the ancient Sudwala Caves. Popular residential towns include: Barberton, Secunda, Nelspruit, White River, Sabie, Graskop and Hazyview.
Mpumalanga property investment has thus far remained a very steady market, but with a large group of first-time buyers relocating to towns such as Nelspruit, the Mpumalanga real estate market has seen major positive changes already. Mpumalanga houses for sale, to buy or rent now offer buyers wider choices in this beautiful South African province. With new developments already booming up everywhere, it is sure to be well worth the investment.
