Marshall (1990) contended that the gravel runs of the Lichtenburg area on the dolomite terrane which were previously described as the courses of former drainage lines were most likely to have been formed by gravel dumped into leached karst structures.
He suggested that the position of the Griqualand-Transvaal Axis as indicated by Du Toit (1933) should, on the basis of geological and geomorphological indicators, be partly shifted eastward between Klerksdorp and Barkly West to a new position roughly parallel to the Vaal river.
The Slurry and Lichtenburg calcrete fields are both on the edge of the dolomite terrane and seem to thin out into ‘tongues’ over the adjacent Ventersdorp Lava.

By November, 141 women were being held there (Morrison 11).” There is no evidence that women at Moringen were mistreated; this was largely due to the facility's emphasis on re-education.
In 1938, Moringen closed and its twenty-four inmates were transferred to the new camp.
“Unlike Moringen, the camp at Lichtenburg was run by the SS, and the overseers were all female (Morrison 12).” Due to its size Lichtenburg soon became inadequate as well, and on May 18, 1939 the first transport of 867 female prisoners was brought to a newly built camp called Ravensbrück.

 John Derbyshire on Hollywood and Africa on National Review Online
The Lichtenburg parliament, for reasons not made clear, is keen to marry the nation’s Princess Maria — that’s Vera Ellen — off to the handsome but starchy Prince Hugo of neighboring statelet Mitteldorf.

Here we are 52 years later, with loans to struggling nations again in the news, and showbiz yet again chiming in with an opinion, though this time in favor of debt relief and more aid to Africa.

 Globeinvestor.com: Anglo Deal Enhances Etruscan Diamonds' South African Holdings
The majority of the Anglo properties are located immediately south of the Lichtenburg District, 100 kilometers west of the Tirisano Diamond Mine, which is located in the Ventersdorp District.
Three (3) of the Anglo properties will add to the Etruscan Diamonds' holdings in the Venetrsdorp District and the remaining fourteen (14) properties are located 100 kilometers to the west situated between two historic alluvial diamond districts: the Lichtenburg District to the north and the Schweizer-Reneke District to the south (see accompanying map).
Etruscan Diamonds believes that the gravel runs may therefore be continuous between the two proven districts and that the Anglo properties therefore have a high potential to host significant volumes of diamondiferous gravels.
