The Department of Sport, Arts, and Culture in the Northern Cays says, it is recognizing
the modern, prosperous, developing province as part of its celebration of the
Cultural Diversity in Democratic South Africa. The department says, one of the locations honored is
Kuruman Moffat Mission, which according to the department continues to be a center for Christian worship
and education. The department further states that, the historical structures of the mission station, such as the church and the
printing press, serve as reminders of its lasting influence. The department says, in the Namaqua, there
is also the Richterveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape. This river divides
South Africa from Namibia, which is a neighboring country and also have a
tree known as "half-person tree" that resembles a human, and the
Namaqua people believe that this tree is an embodiment of their ancestors, half
human, half plant, mourning for their ancient Namibian home.
