Marble Hall is an agricultural town in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, located about 180 kilometers northeast of the capital city of Pretoria. The area is known for its fertile red soil and well-developed irrigated agriculture, and is an important maize, citrus and nut producing region in South Africa.
The town is situated on the Olifants River Basin Plain and has a subtropical climate with rainy summers and dry winters. The unique mineral-rich red soils, together with the artificial irrigation system, make this the heart of the "Mpumalanga Granary". It is surrounded by the famous rock art site of Modderfontein, which shows the early San culture.
The economy is based on agriculture and agro-processing, with the R33 highway running through the town, connecting Polokwane to Grootmalule. In recent years, the town has developed a special economy based on agro-tourism and hunting tourism. Historical buildings such as the Dutch Reformed Church from the colonial period are preserved in the town.
The name "Marblehall" derives from the marble veins discovered by early explorers. Today, with a population of around 30,000, the town still retains a typical South African countryside and is a tranquil place to experience the culture of highland farming and natural beauty.
