Philadelphia (Afrikaans pronunciation: [fœlədælfia] or Vulledelvieha) is a village in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
This village is 33 km south-west of Malmesbury and 23 km north-east of Durbanville. It was developed from a parish of the Dutch Reformed Church established in 1863. The name is of biblical origin (Rev. 3:7-13) and means 'brotherly love.' [3]
