Back in the mid 80's, CDM commissioned a video to be made telling the story of their operations along the desolate Nambian coast. I recall a number of folk back in that time period who all had VHS copies of this film.
Some folk sent them away to relatives to show them the unique place that they lived in, others took it back to boarding school to show their classmates how the town of Oranjemund looked...
As the years roll on a number of folk lost or misplaced the old VHS tapes... but thanks to ex Oranjemunder , Hennie Kruger, we are able to upload a copy of the video. Remember the VHS quality back in the day was not the best.
We have reduced the size of the video and I have broken it up into 5 separate smaller files. The format used is .mp4 and most players support this. If you are looking for a reliable program, I suggest VLC player.....
The first 4 files average 26mb and the last file a mere 7mb.
Thanks to the current NAMDEB management for allowing us to upload this special piece of our town/mines history.
As per usual, please feel free to post you comments...

Ha!.... The dreaded drill that Mike borrowed 18 years ago rears its ugly head once more.
Mike.... Why dont you just buy your dad in law a new one?
Thanks Simon but don't forget he is a "Scotsman"................ and no doubt he would have to ask Michele for the money anyway..........!!!!!!!!!!!
Michel A , don't ask for money , and don't return the broken drill , and please do not replace it , because just like my son in law , you also really shaped up to a model son in law , to say the least .. quite a pleasant person to have in the family . But we , that is me and friend Mike V , needs at least one thing against our sons in law . So don't go and spoil it now. Just ignore the issue - and never mind Simons advice !
Have a Karma point there Hennie, Mr.V you heard your peer up the east coast, you better start appreciating me....
16_1_231 are-you-there
Hennie, I'll take your advice...........
Dear son in law, I'm speechless but most of all, welcome to my family........ (I'm sure I've said that before, November 1998 I think it was)
Mike V : this is just between us . I need a pole to scratch - who better than son in law. .. !
Hennie, I think I can say the same. In some ways we are both lucky to have such good(?) son in laws............
Ok! You two, stop sucking up, you both can have a Karma point, and father in law, you are now welcome to come back for a visit.... allgood
LOL
Son in law returned my Jigsaw - slightly out of order though - won't cut straight . Me muttering under breath , I retired for the day and joined Diana's winers club
