I was working in the lab for Prospecting Ventures, a geological
exploration outfit in the Anglo-American stable in Rhodesia, but was
retrenched in 1976 when they closed down because of the dangers of the
bush war at the time. I was very fortunate to find work at Foskor, a
phosphate mine & processing plant, in Phalaborwa at short notice and
have been here for 45 years. I suffered a second retrenchment (with many
others) for political reasons in 2001. Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, is a
mess & South Africa is rapidly going the same way.
Strangely, I have done it in sub-20 hours in both directions with 3
drivers for the Two Oceans Ultra-Marathon in CT. The speed limit on the
highways is 120km/h.
That same young bull elephant was right in a swimming pool at another
nearby house yesterday!

Amusing clip, if one is not the homeowner!
I finally got around to looking up Phalaborwa on Google Maps. A 1900 km, 19 h
drive from Cape Town (and I’m guessing that 100 km/h is optimistic). I see
Kruger Park to the east, and lots of other green bits, but also vast mines to
the south. Interesting.
How did you wind up there?
