Seeing these pics of Oranjemunds flood, brings back plenty of memories. No matter what the situation was in Oranjemund, everybody always had a great spirit even being able to turn a tragedy into something not so tragic.  I miss Oranjemund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Left 11 years ago can't believe it was so long ago and living in Deneysville Free State. Not the same as Oranjemund.  Love to know more about changes. What happened to Don Esteban the bar and restaurant??????

Have a lovely day

Wow in the 12 years I lived in Oranjemund the river never once came down like this.  Spectacular photos, thanks Mike and all those who contributed.
