The village of Cata is nestled in a beautiful crescent in the Amathole Mountains approximately 50 km from Stutterheim. Place of brutal apartheid–era forced removals in the 1960’s, the village now is a thriving model of integrated, community-driven development.

Development initiatives in the village include an agricultural co-operative, a forestry project and a tourism venture. At the heart of the village stands the community museum-unique in South African that it is the only museum that tells the story of rural and land dispossession and the community’s successful struggle for restitution.
