Ceres’ historical and cultural heritage.
The transport rider was a trader who transported goods by wagon into the interior in order to sell or barter the goods. Transport Riders provided valuable services to remote communities, white and black. Many of the early transport riders were Africans. A great variety of goods like machinery, furniture, clothes, wool, fresh fruit and vegetables, dried fruit, canned fruit, jams, biltong, bacon, tobacco, liquor, especially brandy, elephant and hippopotamus tusks and buffalo horns, even wagons and carts, were transported. Horses and mules were also herded to the North.
