Jozini
is the access point for Northern Maputaland. It is
a small business centre situated close to the
impressive Pongolapoort Dam, better known as the
Jozini Dam.
|
 |
This dam is designed to irrigate more than 80 000
hectares of agricultural land supporting products
such as sugar cane, rice, coffee, fibre crops and
various sub-tropical fruits.
|
|
The dam draws its water from the
Pongolo River,
which means 'trough' and is the principal river of
Maputaland. The river has long, deep pools with
steep sides and is an essential lifeline for the
area it serves. Supporting a massive population of
fish, crocodiles and hippos, as well as the people
of the area, it is an integral part of the economy
of the region. |
