Genadendal, six kilometers outside Greyton is the first and oldest mission station in South Africa. Genadendal (‘Valley of Grace’) was founded by Georg Schmidt, an early worker of the Moravian Missionary Society in 1738 when he settled in Baviaans Kloof (Ravine of the baboons) in the Riviersonderend Valley.
Here, an e-centre occupies one room at the library. "Genadendal all the way!" |
