Trip to SA

Table Mountain

Valley near Franschhoek
Camps bay

Did a trip to South Africa last week, mostly business. Visited Jo’burg, Durban and Cape Town. Was a good trip and gave me a chance to visit the folks in Pennington. I really enjoyed Cape Town, it is one South African city that has not gone backwards. The winelands are really beautiful and there is so much to see and do. Decided I must get down there more often.

Oshikango

Lots of Auto Dealerships, most of the signs in Portuguese

This guy did not put a tiger in his tank, but in his cab !!!

Trucks lined up with goods for Angola

Earlier this week I did a business trip to the northern Namibian town of Oshikango, on the border with Angola.
It’s a shabby, dusty town but extremely busy with all sorts of trade with the Angolans. Most of the signs are in Portuguese, and the town is full of bonded warehouses and goods destined for Angola. All trading is done in cash US Dollars. With the increase in the oil price, Angola’s main export, business is booming and Angolans are buying like crazy. Its pretty corrupt in Angola and one has to have the right contacts to do business there.
I took some pictures from the car, the pictures are not that good, but give some sort of idea of the place.
