About Barberton

Barberton's a proper gold-rush town in Mpumalanga, tucked below the Makhonjwa Mountains near the Eswatini border. Get there via the R40 off the N4, about 46 km from Mbombela and Nelspruit, with Barberton Airport just 12 km out of town. EV charging's thin on the ground locally, so juice up in Mbombela first. Fun fact: the mountains here hold some of the oldest rock on the planet, over 3.5 billion years old.
