The History of Despatch, Eastern Cape
one local expertLeave a comment
Despatch is a small town in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa situated between Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage. The name is derived from its brick industry history on the account that bricks were dispatched from the original railway siding. These bricks were used to build many of Port Elizabeth’s and Uitenhage’s houses. Sadly, the brick industry is a remnant of the past.
