	Orkney, South Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orkney is a gold mining town situated in the Klerksdorp district of the North West Province, South Africa, near the N12 (national road from Johannesburg to Cape Town).
		The town was named after Orkney Isles off the north coast of Scotland, the birthplace of Simon Fraser, one of the gold mining pioneers of the 1880s.
		Orkney enjoyed fame in the late 1980's and early 1990's as the setting for a popular Afrikaans television sitcom called Orkney Snork Nie.

		Of course, this was Orkney in South Africa, in what was then Transvaal, and is now the North-West province, nestled on the banks of the Vaal River across from the Free State.
		The cemetary was situated halfway along the road between Orkney and Klerksdorp, with the airfield directly across on the opposite side of the road.
		The main reason for that was the dust in the air, causing the sharply angled rays to summon forth fantastic and almost surreal colors in the sky.

	Timeline South Africa
		1816 Saartjie Baartman (~27), taken from S. Africa in 1810, fell sick and died penniless and friendless in France after being exhibited as the "Hottentot Venus." Her body was dissected, her brain and genitals were bottled, and her skeleton was wired and exhibited in the Musee de l’Homme in Paris.
		In 1996 South African former police officer Eugene de Kock said that Craig Williamson, a South African spy, was involved in the murder.
		In South Africa police chief Johan van der Merwe was instructed to blow up the Johannesburg headquarters of the South African Council of Churches, called Khotso House, for harboring anti-apartheid groups.

		Linton Grange (Linton in the Orkney Islands and Scottish Borders; also Linton Burnfoot and Linton Hill in the Scottish Borders, Linton Court in Fife, and Linton House in Aberdeenshire) but Linton is even more common in England than in Scotland.
		South End (Argyll & Bute) also in England, but there could be some significance in Scotland's South End being almost right next door to Mill Park at the tip of Kintyre.
		Of the eleven metropolitan areas in South Africa with a population of half a million or more, Port Elizabeth has the second highest proportion of suburban names with Scottish connections (after East London, with Durban not too far behind Port Elizabeth in this regard).

		I was a student (the first time around) in the late '80s in South Africa, before the death of apartheid during a very turbulent political period.
		But it made me appreciate that the experience of the day (and the season) for people who come in a couple of hours after I do would be quite different.
		It reminded me of my student days back in South Africa, while I was living in the same high-rise apartment block perched on top of a midtown shopping mall I mentioned in a previous post.

		Until comparatively recently, Marshalltown was the financial hub of South Africa.

		Ask any surfer about the curls at Jeffreys Bay - J-Bay to anyone who ever waxed a board - and watch their eyes frost over with delight at the thought of that swell, those tubes and the most consistent wave formations in South Africa, a place that knows about surf.
		J-Bay is in Eastern Cape, an area with some of South Africa's wildest coastline, which is backed by some of Africa's most spectacular sub-tropical rainforest.
		Surfers go as part of a pilgrimage, to pay homage to the legend and to ride beaches with names as diverse as Boneyards, Kitchen Windows, Magnatubes, Phantoms and the Albatross, and there are places that can provide you with a ride as long as three minutes if you catch them when the swell's right.
