The Richtersveld is so much like the Great and Little Karoo and the Northern Cape, the landscapes of my childhood for which my soul cries out ever more strongly as I grow older. If only I could stand there once more before I die...
Ray Theron... Leef jy nog? Sal ook nog net eenkeer wil terug gaan voor koppie neerle se tyd...stil om n vuurtjie sit saans, by n ou wat sy blik kitaar kan kielie tot ogies toeval tyd...

Does anyone have Koos's contact details? This is the most amazing place on earth. The night skies are spectacular, just simply awsome! We grew up about 40km or so from eksteensfontein in the late sixties and seventies. My father had a fluorspar mine their, the home and office ruins are still their today. What an amazing place to grow up in and what a privilege it was. Most beautiful but relentless place on earth. I remember the Uys family well, maybe the children are still their. The people living their are the salt of the earth, good people.

Sorry , but thanks for the offer anyway . More than 3000 farmers have been murdered already and the political Left are saying we will take back our land , and the government is trying to change the constitution to nationalise the land . So it doesnt give me much incentive though I would love to . My father farmed in the Karoo.
