White River City
Origin
After the Boer War, the British demarcated land on the Emanzimhlope River, a tributary of the Crocodile River. Emanzimhlope translates from the Swazi as 'White Waters'.
Lord Milner (administrator of the defeated Transvaal) tasked his attache, Tom Lawrence, to demarcate land on the 'Emanzimhlope' – a tributary of the Crocodile River – to demobilised British Anglo-Boer War soldiers. The longest street in town is still named after Lawrence, who was the first manager of the new settlement.
The farming tradition of the community that settled here after the Anglo-Boer War has remained virtually unchanged to this day. After a 26 km canal to channel water from the river was built, the new settlers planted fruit trees and established new cultivation methods.
Government
White River (Ward 30) is governed by the Democratic Alliance, South Africa’s official opposition party.
The DA is the majority party in the town. Rowan Torr was placed as councillor after a by-election on the 7 August 2019, where he succeeded Trudie Grove Morgan as a councillor.
Agriculture
Agriculture involves largely the production of tropical fruits, vegetables, flowers and timber and tobacco, and is one of the most fertile in the province.
White River, with three irrigation dams and a number of nearby forests, is a popular holiday destination for those looking to visit the Crocodile River Valley, and the town has a reputation for its arts and crafts. One of the attractions for the art scene is Casterbridge Lifestyle Center situated on the outskirts of the city. Once a mango plantation it now sports a cinema, art exhibitions in its various art galleries, theater plays, concerts, a vintage motor museum and various restaurants. Within the town is the Hoerskool Rob Ferreira High School with the private Uplands Pre-prep, Preparatory and College (High School) located a few kilometers from the town centre.
Region
White River lies 20 km north of Mbombela not far from the border with Kruger National Park. White River has a population of 16,639 and is located in an area of considerable scenic beauty. Compared to other parts of South Africa, the climate is neither excessively hot in summer when rainfall is at its highest, nor overly cold during the sunny winters. The farms tend to be relatively small but agriculture is intensive with tropical and citrus fruits in abundance, and vegetables and cut flowers readily available.
