Charmaine, you have brought some memories back here, Ja we used to start at 20.00 end at 06.00 and then be at work on the mine by 07.00.
I used to work with Koos Jacobs on night on one night off ( there was only the one bed so Navy style (almost ) hot bunking)
On top of this to earn the extra money we also used to double as barmen.
I saw one of those old switchboards at a show years ago.

Charmaine would you beleive it Koos Jacobs son David now works in the same office I do in Cape Town

I remember Karen, a lovely young girl, I also recall her marrying Hooman.

Keep well.

It is so amazing to see how this website brings people together.  It is strange that somewhere some day one will bump into an ex Oranjemunder.  I must say when I drive here in Pretoria and I see a vehicle with N ??? OR numberplates I want to stop the vehicle and ask who they are, but dont get the opportunity to do so as the traffic in this place is hectic.

One day , down in Cpt, heading out on the N1 towards Brackenfell, I switched lanes suddenly, and did'nt see the car in my blindspot. Luckily I just missed the guy, remember glancing in the rear view mirror to see this driver waving his fist at me, when I glanced down , I saw the N*OR numberplate, that would have been lank embarrassing if I had ploughed into another Oranjemunder down there....

Debby,

Hooman was the flying Ayatollah, Vic Barra started it.  Hooman took flying lessons.
