Coligny, a small rural town in the North West, is undergoing a much needed makeover. The town became infamous in April last year when furious residents of the nearby Thlabologang and Scotland settlements looted its CBD and set various houses alight, following the death of 15-year-old Mathlomola Mosweu. He  died after having sustained a fatal fall from a bakkie, allegedly at the hands of two white men. South Africa Day, an NGO with the aim to revamp the many dilapidated rural towns across the country, has decided to start in Coligny as its flagship  project, with the long term vision of positioning it as a popular agricultural and tourism hub in the province.
