KwaZulu-Natal is culturally rich, offering a wide range of writers
- writing mainly in English and Zulu - who are linked through their
lives and their writing to this province of South Africa. The
writers include, to name just a few, Alan Paton, Roy Campbell,
Lewis Nkosi, Ronnie Govender, Wilbur Smith, Daphne Rooke, Credo
Mutwa and Gcina Mhlophe. And how better to understand a writer than
to know about the places they are linked to? For example, who,
after reading the lyrical opening sentences of Paton's famous book
Cry, the Beloved Country (1948) has not wanted to see this scene in
reality? There is a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the
hills. These hills are grass-covered and rolling, and they are
lovely beyond any singing of it. A Literary Guide to KwaZulu-Natal
introduces you to the regions and writers through word and image,
leading you imaginatively through this beautiful province. This
could include following the route a fictional character charts in a
novel, visiting particular settings from a story or tracking down
the places linked to a writer, whether a birthplace, home, burial
site or significant setting. Literary tourists are interested in
how places have influenced writing and at the same time how writing
has created place. This is also a way of reflecting upon and
understanding historic and contemporary identities in a changing
cultural and political South African landscape.

In the far northwestern corner of South Africa lies the
Richtersveld, recently inscribed towards the end of 2007 as South
Africa' 8th World Heritage Site. At first glance, it is a desolate
and inhospitable place, with hot sandy plains and startling, jagged
mountains of black rock. It is the world' only biodiversity hotspot
located in an arid region, where thousands of plant species, many
of which are endemic to the area. It is also the home to the last
remaining groups of Nama (Khoikhoi) people who still practise their
traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle, living in portable reed huts
and moving with their flocks of sheep and goats. The Richtersveld
travel guide contains all the information you need to explore this
stunning region. It covers the geological, botanical and cultural
history of the area, and it contains full details of where to stay
and what to do. The guide includes the Richtersveld Community
Conservancy, the Richtersveld National Park, the nearby towns of
Alexander Bay and Port Nolloth, and crosses the border into
Namibia, where the Richtersveld is joined with the Ai-Ais hot
springs and the Fish River Canyon (second largest in the world) in
a spectacular Transfrontier Conservation Area. The Richtersveld is
also part of the greater Namaqualand region, which runs south from
the Orange River for several hundred kilometers. This beguiling
part of the world has won international renown for its annual
spring-flower spectacle, when millions of flowers burst forth to
mount a staggering display that attracts visitors from all over the
world.
