Robert Moffat Mission, where the first bible was translated into an African language. This is where the bible was translated into Setswana, making it the first African language to receive a fully translated bible, and the first bible to be printed in Africa. The mission, is situated in Kuruman, Northern CapeMoffat Mission in Kuruman was started by Robert Moffat of the London Missionary Society in the 1820s. The Mission property includes a variety of buildings including the old Homestead where Robert Moffat and his wife, Mary Moffat lived (and which housed David Livingstone for a time who married Mary Moffat, Robert Moffat’s daughter, he also was a missionary to Africa), the foundations of a schoolroom built in 1829, the Moffat Church which was completed in 1838, some 50 years before the town of Kuruman was laid out, as well as other historic buildings. The Moffat Church was designed to seat 800 people, and was fully restored in 1938 to mark its centenary.
Robert Moffat translated the Bible into Tswana (the vernacular language of the indigenous inhabitants of the region)  the first bible translated in the African language, and then printed these Bibles on his own printing press. This cast iron printing press is on display at the Moffat Mission, along with numerous other historical artefacts like an ox wagon, a sundial from 1831 and a bronze relief of Robert Moffat.
It was amazing to visit the Moffat Mission, and the church and the property is so well kept and amazing to see such a historical place.  This is where the first ever school in South Africa was here at the Moffat Mission. If you enjoy visiting historical places, this is highly recommended, a place so full of rich history, it was wonderful.
