Kuruman

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Kuruman

Town in Northern Cape province, South Africa, about 200 km/124 mi northwest of Kimberley, lying at the source of the Kuruman River; population (2007 est) 9,100. Manganese is mined locally and at the nearby town of Motazel. Asbestos was mined here, following a fall in world demand for blue asbestos.

Outside the town is the Moffat mission station where the Scottish explorer David Livingstone met his wife, Mary Moffat, whose father built a church here in 1838.
