About Musina Local Municipality
Musina Local Municipality is situated at the northernmost part of Limpopo, close to the Beit Bridge border post between South Africa and Zimbabwe. The Musina town developed around the copper mining industry in the area.
Major economic strengths, except diamond mining, are the many game farms and tourist attraction sites including the Kruger National Park, the Big Tree, Musina Nature Reserve and Mapungubwe National Park. The world heritage site of Mapungubwe (meaning “Hill of Jackals”) is one of the richest archaeological sites in South Africa. Musina is known for being the region of Baobab trees and impala lilies, which are both protected species.
