This house was built by a private COntractor in Oranjemund, for more than N$1 million...... anyhow, due to the current global financial crises.... the guy left and sold the premises to the mine.....
The mine has no use for the house and sources state that the mine would be willing to rent it out to anyone who is willing to fork out N$10 000 per month...... any takers?
The house is situated on the grass patch in Inner Circle......
Isn't that Bearing Mans place, where they gone too?

what would N$10 000 be in RSA Rands?
R1 = N$ 1
In Namibia we use both Rands and Nam Dollars..... same value, they are linked.....
Colonial Money, we cannot do without..... 202
Not a bad offer - might be something to salvage there! I know what new tunnels cost, and according to your earlier photos of the dilapidated tunnels, it looks like the framework is still fine....
But then.... I'm still waiting for E10/11....
Another million bucks wasted......mine had to buy a house they did not need because of a buy back option they had with builders of the house.
Yep! Yep! Bertie..... you will be able to market your greens as Grown in the Green Namib,
@ Stennie, I feel that this buy back option was a very short sighted idea, that however cannot be blamed on the current Mine Management, this was a "wise" idea back in the days of Willie Rentel & Co..... We at Spar also built a house in town, not happy with having to do that , as it cost us almost half a million (money which we could really use right now)..... yet even back then there were still empty houses in Omund, yes! I agree, they were not maintained, but we and quite a number of private enterprise people offered to take the houses as is, maintain them at our cost, at Namdeb standards..... but the mentality of Allied Services at the time was still that of a blinkered mammoth... covered in red tape, living in the past..... for some strange reason, they were telling us to build houses for the future of Oranjemund..... nobody knew that the world would be a financial mess at this stage, but the mines original plans for the next few years did show the downscaling of the workforce.... so it made complete sense to us private guys, that there was no reason to build the houses......
Jeez that's a good bye,that's 1 Aussie dollar = 6.5 Rand
The rent is steep 10,000 Rand a month or $1,538 A/D.
Where as it could be bought outright for $153,800 A/D
Mind if these calculations are wrong its this Chinese calculator
There again its a bit far for the Boat club or the RSL.
Its a pity I don't have citizenship sorriso2
I'm planning on buying the house and will be renting it out for N$9999.99
Is that VAT incl. ?
I think all we need to do is wait 3 to 6 months and watch the price come down if there are no takers.
Pity I dont have the money or I would buy and then undercut Alfred and rent for N$9999,98.

Are we talking Namibian Dollars or Nigerian Dollars
laughpoint 202
The Yanks are great, have two brothers 202 living their, and there was this story about the US dollar.
To counterfeit its quite hard because of the material its printed on, so you would think well yes
the Americans in their wisdom would not have a problem. rooster
Here in Australia the bank notes are made up of 100,50,20,10,5 dollar and they come in different
colours and sizes.
Not so our American cousins because the one dollar note its the same size as all their other notes.
So the story I heard was the counterfeiters bleached the one dollar notes and then printed a one hundred
dollar note making a $99 profit.
Bloody cool image201
I reckon the paper that is used for the Zim dollar must be worth more than the actual value of the currency.
If you guys want to see an outragous modern currency, have look at the Dutch guilder - very colourful. Our Aussie ones arent too bad.

The ND is linked to the rand, that's how I see it, so the cost of living in Nab is the same as it is in S/A.
Michael you can answer this, I hope? what is the price of unleaded petrol whats the price of beer, bread, newspapers
whats the interest rates over there.
In OZ we are paying around $1:10 a liter (depending what state you live in) for unleaded petrol, bread from $2:50 newspapers
$2, a beer 10oz pot (half pint) in the clubs $2:50 and the interest rates are around 5 percent.
The interest rates dropped sharply over the last few month about 4 percent.
It will be the same for you Malcolm in Tass...........................Frank
Hi Frank
Petrol is about $1.25 here in Hobart after reaching a high of about $1.80 late last year. So its about 10-15 cents more than other states.
Electricity prices increased by about 25% this year. The drought is blamed for it as all the electricity is generated by hydro power in Tas. Not enough water = not enough electricity, so Tas has to buy power from Victoria.
Our interest rates are great now and they reckon it will drop another .5% next month. So it could go below 5% in the next moth or so. A good time to buy. I am in the process of negotiating a property in Coffs Harbour on the NSW north coast at present. I'm glad I held off for 6 months.....
Malcolm
Hello Malcolm.
Yes we are a bit better off here in Queensland for fuel there is a 10cent subsidy paid by the government.
Coffs Harbour beautiful part of the world Not as good as H/B numberone but a good investment
The news is on at the moment and its 1 Aud = 65 us cents so I will not be visiting my brothers in the near
future.
When was your time spent in Oranjemund Malcolm.
I hope Mike ( I know you will be flat out with this site) or anyone out there can fill some of the details I
mentioned in earlier posts..........................................Frank
I see that the Bearingman Mansion is now being rented by the new Private Dentist in town...... I hear only good things about this chap.... Gone are the days of having to wait 3 months to see a dentist in Oranjemund! woo_hoo
