High Street: Where History Meets Hustle (and Maybe a Sneaky Snack)! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

Did you know that Makhandaโ€™s High Street is the only traditional "High Street" in South Africa? It is a vibrant, historical focal point for its community, much like the traditional High Streets in England.
This vibrant hub is always alive with activityโ€”businesspeople, students, schoolchildren, vendors, and more create a daily buzz that feels like a non-stop pavement party!

At the top of High Street, the historic Drostdy Gateway, completed in 1842, stands as a striking reminder of the past. Once a grand entrance to a military parade ground, it now invites pedestrians to stroll onto the beautiful rolling lawns of Rhodes University.

Further down the street, youโ€™ll find a mix of historic homes, bustling courts, and ever-changing businesses that blend the old and the new. And letโ€™s not forget the blooming trees and ancient cycads that seem like theyโ€™ve been watching forever.

Come for the culture, stay for the charm. High Street is more than just a roadโ€”itโ€™s the heartbeat of Makhanda. ๐Ÿ’–

GETTING TO KNOW OUR HISTORY: THE SOUTH AFRICAN LIBRARY FOR THE BLIND

Nestled in the heart of Makhanda, the South African Library for the Blind (SALB) has been a cornerstone of our community since 1918. What started with a modest collection of 100 braille books has grown into a national treasure, serving blind and visually impaired individuals across South Africa.

๐Ÿ’ก Did You Know?

๐Ÿ‘‰ SALB delivers books in braille, audio, and tactile formats directly to its members through postal and courier services.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Membership is free and open to anyone who is legally blind or experiencing severe vision impairment.

๐Ÿ‘‰ SALB is also home to innovative programmes, like creative writing workshops, designed to empower and inspire!

๐Ÿ“ Tours are available by appointment - learn about the libraryโ€™s operations and its vital role in our history.
