Mapalakata is an extinct word recorded in oral
traditions of the area meaning
‘mysterious visitors’— which was used to describe
foreign traders who moved through
Southern Africa long before the time of
contemporary European colonisation. Robin
Bernstein, first travelled to and photographed along
the Mpumalanga Escarpment, a dramatic part of
South Africa’s Great Escarpment, in 2019. Mapalakata
explores this surrounding landscape and offers a visual
reassessment of a key historical and geographical
region in Southern Africa.
