Saldanha

Saldanha

Saldanha, also known as Saldanha Bay, is a town of 22,000 people, located 110 kilometres (68 mi) north of Cape Town on the northern shore of Saldanha Bay, in the Western Cape province of South Africa.

Its situation as a natural sheltered harbour has led to development as a port for the export of iron ore from Sishen in the Northern Cape, which is transported on the Sishen–Saldanha railway line.
