 Our proud history

 

Genadendal (the Valley of Grace) is a small town nestled in the  Riviersonderend Mountains in the

Western Cape and is the oldest mission station in South Africa. During its golden years

the town was a hub of home industry activity and is now a tranquil cultural enclave

with rich heritage. It inspired former President Nelson Mandela( long live

Madiba, long live VIVA!!) to rename his official residence in Cape  Town after it in

1995 (view on Youtube -Mandela in Genadendal
