Geography and History
Postmasburg is a town in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, located approximately 170 km east of Upington. Postmasburg sits 67km north of Griquatown and 58km west-south-west of Daniëlskuil. The town has a lovely dam surrounded by lush, green vegetation and sparkling fountains.
Postmasburg was originally a station of the London Missionary Society called Sibiling, then it became a Griqua village with the name Blinkklip.
