MAROPENG A’AFRIKA AND THE CRADLE OF HUMANKIND
 The Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and Dinokeng are initiatives of the Gauteng Provincial Government to establish geo-spatial tourism destinations in the north-west and the north-east of the province, close to the densely populated metropolitan areas of Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni.
The Gauteng Provincial Government – through Blue IQ, its strategic economic investment programme – has invested over R250 million in roads and bulk infrastructure in the two destinations in order to boost tourism development.
There are 663 tourism attractions in the two destinations (a remarkable growth since 2003 when there were only 163 tourism establishments).
The projects promote economic growth and social upliftment, relieving the burden of poverty, particularly for historically-disadvantaged communities living in and around the two destinations.
