Bla bla bla. They can't even boom the existing towns. When you need donations from other counties (China act) to develop your own, you are useless. They are giving away the land without realizing it. As long as the rich can line their pockets with more dosh, they don't give a damn. 

Me 2 cents.

Here's a new one, heard prominent politicians discussing a harbour for Oranjemund!.....

A friend of mine who happens to be a negative kind of chap , walked into my office yesterday afternoon, proclaiming, There's plenty of diamonds still to be mined here, they will never run out in our time....

[Adriaan Van Rooyen]

Heard from a prominent source that a F1 kyalami track is going to be built,add that on Mike,new hotel around the golf course as well as a susi bar.......hehehehe the next one is even better but i would like to keep that one secret ....... for now anyway.   

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

OK so now that a harbour is mentioned here.......I was having a "discussion" with a bright spark that insisted that Oranjemund had a harbour (never mind he has never been there) the more I told him there wasn't one the more he insisted that there was.....'cos a ship called the "Oranjemund" used to bring supplies up so there had to be a harbour. Now believe it if you may this dronkie does know that there ain't a harbour but if said ship did bring supplies where did it dock....Port Jollie....Luderitz ????? or did it just anchor off the coast and supplies brought in by helicopter. Was there such a ship that did this?

[Adriaan Van Rooyen]

Yeah there was a ship called Oranjemund ...i think but it used to dock at Port Nolloth but that was quite a while ago,some sort of a supply ship,probably brought all the dop for Port Jollie.....it could be as far back as the 70"s 

[Mike Voden (RIP)]

The ship named Oranjemund more than likely brought Diana's red juice supply to her

abur naturlich ..... one crate two crate its open for debate.....
