Ladysmith
The town of Ladysmith
on the banks of the Klip River - proclaimed in 1850 - was named after the Spanish
wife of Sir Harry Smith. It became a prosperous staging- post for fortune-hunters
en route to the Transvaal gold-fields and diamond discoveries at Kimberley.
Ladysmith made world headlines at the turn of the century when it was besieged
for 118 days during the most crucial stage of the Anglo-Boer
War. Today a commercial centre for surrounding communities, the town is
a natural gateway to the tourist delights of the Central and Northern reaches
of the Drakensberg
range. Snowcapped peaks during winter form a breathtaking backdrop.
