THE FUTURE OF MY ORANJEMUND!

[SandyB]

What would the new GM  have to say if he knew  the OTMCO   was letting opportunites  slip to  garner more cash for the town ?/ never mind that  in the interim letting  some  invery good condition properties  go to seed while they  twiddle their thumbs  or  are waiting for the right kickback  for the  homes people want ?? Somebody must  be  close enough to him to whisper in his ear ???

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Sandy you named it......it will be kick backs, bet you !!!!

[SandyB]

Bet on .. a good botle of red ??

Spot On Sandy, Exactly..... here are dead assets that could generate revenue to decrease that 4.6 million to keep the town (Not the mine) running on a monthly basis..... yet, the plebs in OTMCO.... are still trying to run the ship on the old rules.......


"Although I must confess this morning, I heard of two old Oranjemunders being allowed to rent nice houses on a monthly basis from OTMCO- seems somebody might be waking up in that dept....."

[SandyB]

Or got the right  under counter  ' package "  is OTMCO  an outsource  or paid by  Namdeb ??

[Michael Alexander]

Funny that you mention..."under the counter package".... but I am afraid I may not comment in public.....

Mike 1.3 million is a shithouse (excuse the pun) full of cash for sewerage and waste. Then there's electricity costs, water supply, and the list goes on.

Two years on.... and as per mining communities.... Boggerall has changed.... the houses that were offloaded to private folk are being taken back, the folk being reinbursed..... suree you can hire here... but you cannot buy... I think the mine should just keep the whole town for themselves till the diamonds are finished and then bulldoze the entire place...(Yes, it sounds very unlike me. ... but rather this, than leave the window open for widescale corruption..)  ...... after all we were only meant to be here for 36 years......

Whispers doing the rounds that the mine is no longer gonna outsource the hospital.... seems like somebody up in the higher echelons of power realized that a mine this size still needs to have a hospital.... wonder what they think about the school.....
