City & Place Guide

A quiet agricultural town on Mpumalanga's western edge

Delmas is a small town located in the Gert Sibande District of Mpumalanga Province, about 70 kilometres east of Johannesburg. It serves primarily as an agricultural and mining hub, known for its role in South Africa's coal industry and its surrounding farmlands producing tomatoes and other produce.

The town offers a glimpse into everyday South African rural life away from major tourist circuits. Visitors passing through on route to the Lowveld or Kruger National Park will find it a practical stopover with basic amenities, fuel stations, and local shops rather than a destination in its own right.

  • •Delmas Town Centre — explore local markets and everyday South African small-town culture
  • •Surrounding farmlands — seasonal produce farms offering a look at Mpumalanga's agricultural backbone
  • •Vlakfontein area — open grassland scenery typical of the Highveld plateau
  • •Nearby Bronkhorstspruit Dam — a short drive west for birdwatching and weekend picnics
  • •eMalahleni (Witbank) — just 30 km east, offering shopping centres and the Highveld hiking trails
  • •Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve — accessible day trip for wildlife and scenic Highveld landscapes

Getting around: Delmas has no formal public rail service; most residents and visitors rely on minibus taxis running routes to nearby eMalahleni and Johannesburg. Private car hire or a personal vehicle is the most practical option for exploring the town and surrounds. Rideshare apps like Uber have limited coverage here, so arranging transport in advance is advisable.

Best time: The best time to visit is during the dry winter months of May through August, when days are mild, sunny, and free of the heavy afternoon thunderstorms common in summer.

Local food: Look for braai gatherings, pap and wors at local eateries, and fresh seasonal tomatoes and vegetables sourced directly from the surrounding Delmas farms.
