The website South African Visa Solutions has listed the top 25 small towns in South Africa to visit.

Guess where Ladysmith is on the list? I will give you a hint – nowhere!

With the tagline “The 25 best small towns in South Africa” and the punchy and emotive “Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.”

You have a feeling you are in for a treat and the site truly delivers in this case. Sadly, for Ladysmith, it is a dose of harsh reality. Our town sucks… Can we blame them for overlooking us when we have grass growing out of cracks in the main street and other prominent roads?

They list the towns in alphabetical order, without saying which is the best… I wonder how well we would feature on the ‘Worst 25 small towns in South Africa’ list?
