    I can just imagine the old "Oom" (farmer) chuckling as he watches the hyacinths grow Izwi lokugcina (the final word).Thank you for a very enjoyable series.

    Have you tried Leydsdorp, once designated a city by Paul Kruger, now a hunting camp?
    There’s a Commissioner Street, and Samuel Pepys great-grand nephew is buried there.
    Unfortunately, the old bar counter was stolen recently - it had Kruger’s signature carved into it.

    I have just started watching this channel today (yes I did subscribe to this channel as SA is a wonderful, beautiful country indeed, despite its.... oppses and shanininigans (lol), and I'd love to travel SA, and the narrator is good with his words, lol. and with his humour. Very educational - I never knew the story of Phelandaba until today, Nice to see some positives about our stunningly beauiful land South Africa. :-)

    caught plenty fish there in the 70s

    • @JustOfftheHighway
      @JustOfftheHighway  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, yes, people still fish there, but I'm not sure if it's safe to eat. I was warned the water can make you ill. Undoubtedly a beautiful place.
