Philippolis
is a small town in the Free State province of South Africa. It was founded
as a missionary outpost for the Bushman in 1823, making it the oldest settlement
in the Free State. It was named after John Philip of the London Missionary
Society. Adam Kok II, a Griqua leader, settled here with his people in
1826 and was made the protector of the mission. However, Kok and his followers
killed all the Bushmen at the Mission Station. Kok's son Adam Kok
III and his followers later migrated across the Drakensberg mountains to
settle in Kokstad. The writer and intellectual Sir Laurens van der Post
was born in Philippolis. Today the town is becoming a popular tourist destination
because of its historical value, architecture and rural lifestyle. |
