Place Names Southern Africa: Welgedag

Contact me.

I have completed the project of listing all the towns linked to the SA Rail Network Map in South Africa that hangs on the wall in my office (all the names of the settlements, sidings, stations that appear on a 1976? chart of the railway network of the South African Transport Services Map). A rough count gives me 1000 names. So it took me about 3 years to complete the task (doing one name a day on average). I will now be adding interesting snippets of the places whenever I see or hear something - join me in my journey of discovering South Africa by signing up as a follower. You may also want to visit the companion site - a directory of ALL the placenames in South Africa. http://www.sites.google.com/sites/saplacenames

If you have any interesting info on any place in SA you can add to our store of knowlegde by sending an email to proplib@gmail.com

If you live close to any of the places mentioned. Let me know if the name board of the station/stop is still visible (if the line is closed) or send a photo of the station or tell us a story. Either as a comment, or email me - proplib@gmail.com

If you are looking for a specific fact about a town, why not email your question to charlheydenrych@yahoo.com

If you wish to advertise an establishment I am sure we can make a plan.
