The Riebeek Valley is situated 80 km north-east of Cape Town. Riebeek-Kasteel is one of the oldest towns in South Africa. During 1661 Commander Jan van Riebeeck initiated an inland discovery expedition. They ascended a lonely mountain and came upon the fertile vista of the Riebeek Valley. They named the town Riebeek Kasteel, in honor of the Commander. In the 19th century both Jan Smuts and Daniel Malan were born on the outskirts of neighbouring Riebeek West, both later becoming prime ministers of the country.
