Ep. 51 - The R30 between Allenridge and Bothaville and more from around South Africa Today
Hello everyone, welcome to SA Today, and today on 4 August 2023; we start the video on the R30 between Allenridge and Bothaville in the Free State Province of South Africa (SA).
-----------------------------------------
Welcome to our channel, SA Today! We will try and upload a video for you every day or the third day from somewhere around South Africa (SA) where we travel. We live in the platteland but try and see as much as we can of South Africa. Join us on a journey as we explore the beauty of South Africa through daily video captures. From breathtaking landscapes to vibrant cities, we showcase the diversity and charm of our country.
Subscribe and come along for the adventure!
We want to show our viewers as many places as we can across the country worth visiting. South Africa is a large country, and only some locals know where all these places are. We also try and provide some history on many of the towns, museums and events on that day in South Africa and a small bit of Namibia today. We take pride in bringing original and captivating videos that will leave you in awe.
Also in this video, is the harbour at club mykonos in Langebaan and we end the video in Port Elizabeth.

Putsonderwater Abandoned Railway Ghost Town South Africa
An abandoned railway village called Putsonderwater on the railway line between De Aar and Upington, in the dry Northern Cape province of South Africa. It's not that hard to reach, along a reasonably good gravel road between Marydale and Kenhardt. It's well worth the detour, and such a special experience exploring these fast disappearing villages, that were once thriving communities, now reverting back to nature.
There are a couple of versions of how the name Putsonderwater, which means well without water in the Afrikaans language came about. The one I like, is a man by the name of Dawid Ockhuis dug a well back in the late 1800's, and struck liquid gold in an arid land, when his well proved to have a good supply of water.
In those days, the trek boers would come past and ask for water. Not being a man who liked to share his supply, he would reply die put is sonder water, meaning the well is without water. There are other stories, but this one is the best for me.

Ghost towns in South Africa (Part 1) Abandoned Mine Town !!!
Join Paul and Gerhard as the explore an mine town that has been abandoned for the last 20 years.
Hello everyone, this is Part 1 of Ghost towns in South Africa. The series where me and my brother travel South Africa listen to all the stories the ghost towns have to tell.
Its amazing to see what can happen if the main purpose of a town existence disappears, its as if its crying out to tell its story to anyone who will listen. Today it was me and my brother's turn to open our eyes and ears to listen to the Ghost towns story.
After we finished listening to the town's story we set our sight on the sunset as we made our way to the Glacier floors and Rock Art.
Its Paul here, hope you enjoyed . We really enjoy bringing these type of videos to you guys. so stay posted for the next. Have a nice day, live life like you want to live.

Ghost towns in South Africa (Part 2) Exploring Rock Art!!
Join Paul and Gerhard as they explore the old glacier floor/paving that was patiently waiting to be re-explored.
This is part 2 of me and my brother exploring Old Ghost Towns and abandoned places in South Africa.
It was one of those thing that a person can drive past a 1000 times in daily life but you never notice, that's if you don't go looking for it. That was the case for me and my brother but on that faithful day we put our sights on those prehistoric boulders. We even found some Native Rock Art and some that were not so native, but never the less all of those people left there mark for a long time to come.
It seemed the old Spooky House had been lived in till a few years ago, the paint suggests that but the doorways said otherwise. I'm not so sure what cause people to abandon it, but that mystery is waiting for the next explorers to come and answer it.
It was fun listening to the to story these majestic boulders and building had to tell.
Hope you enjoyed, Then till the next time !!!
