LAINGSBURG, South Africa - The town that flooded

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the channel. In this video, I visit the town of Laingsburg, situated in the Great Karoo region of South Africa and about 265km from Cape Town. It is a major transport and logistics hub, situated on the N1 that connects Cape Town with Johannesburg and, ultimately, the border with Zimbabwe. Laingsburg experienced a tragic day on Sunday, 25 January 1981, when much of the town was destroyed by a flood. Given the dry climate, it is an almost unthinkable event, and one that shaped the future of Laingsburg in a profound way. Join me as we see what the town looks like in 2023, learn more about the history and hear from some locals who lived in the area at the time of the flood. I also enjoy some local food - roosterkoek - prepared by a local celebrity, Tannie Poppie! A special thanks to everyone who made my visit enjoyable and insightful. Please note that I have not been sponsored in the production of this video. Let's go and explore!
