Two villages, Pax and Doornspruit, are divided by a big river. Children like to play in the river while they use enamel buckets to carry water home. The river, Mogwadi, serves as a recreation and socialisation spot as well, as most schoolboys and girls play indigenous games like dikgati, diketo, bhohle and others.

The villages are situated in a rain belt and the forests and grass are evergreen. Livestock and mealie fields boost the economy and enable parents to make ends meet. 10 Scanned with AnyScanner RDF2601/ASSESSMENT 2/0/2024 3.1.
