The historical town used to be a German missionary station in the 19th century. In 1971 a South Ndebele village was created. Performances of song and dance by Ndebele women are on offer. Another traditional Ndebele village is a short journey away from Cullinan to the north-east of Pretoria. Situated near Bronkhorstspruit, the village provides demonstrations of traditional artwork forms, including beadwork, weaving and the famous Ndebele hut painting.
Villagers wear traditional dress as well as headdresses and ornate jewellry.
