The History of Rederberg Estates

Louis Redelinghuys, looking for opportunities, relocated to the Limpopo province area in 1980.  At the time he was a young energetic man with great ambition and good intentions. He found a piece of land with plenty of water, a valuable resource in Africa, and one which was provided by the Hoedspruit/Blyderiver Waterscheme.

Louis negotiated a lease on the farm Moriah, where he resides to this day. He borrowed implements from neighbors, secured a loan from the corporation, and started planting vegetables.  Hard work and a few good seasons, enabled him to slowly expand.  He started buying land and developing mango and citrus orchards.
