I have lived in Parys for 30 years and Iʼm telling you now, you would never get mugged in Mimosa during the day. So that whole getting your throat cut for your personal belongings is extreme exaggeration for that small town

Nice video, thanks. However, sadly missing is the inlet to the Orange-Vis tunnel at Oviston, which is one of the interesting features of the Gariep Dam. I know it was mentioned some years ago by Johannes Weitz, but I wanted to bring it up again because Oviston is situated on the farm Zeekoegat which is adjacent to my great-grandfather's farm, Beschuitfontein.

Just some 40 years ago, myself and my portuguese frineds decided to sit in the second level waterfall ponds, try to sober up. Ofcourse, having had endulges somewhat, I see myself sitting stupidly on the very high edge, being dared to jump - wouldve killed myself ofcourse.

Hi Dirk...very nice video. I would like to buy a drone this year, but people say it's a waste of many, because South African drone laws are very strict. You don't seems to have any problems...what are your thoughts on this?
@DirkGroblerII2 жыл бұрын
I am glad you enjoyed the video Nick, thank you. These videos were all made as a novice before I was formally employed in the commercial sector. The South African laws are very strict with good reason and in the interest of safety. It was only afterwards I realised how many of them I was breaking, and the risks I did not even realise at the time. Buying a drone is always a good idea and great fun if you are passionate about photo- or videography. You just have to be realistic about where you are allowed to fly and the risk involved. Getting your RPL is indeed a waste of money if you do not intend to become a commercial drone pilot. A RPL is only valid if flown under a registered ROC (RPAS Operating Certificate) holder aka registered commercial drone operating company. You can read more on the SACAA (South African Aviation Authority) website at this link. www.caa.co.za/Pages/RPAS/Remotely%20Piloted%20Aircraft%20Systems.aspx

This DAM was our favorite spot to visit, or at least drive through on the way to visit our friends in Rustenberg. We left this beautifull country in year 2000, when it became obvious, that the new "damagement" is unable to govern by positive apartheid the country. Thank you South Africa for 25 years of nice life we spent there, God bless you and ALL your peoples. Best regards from Czech republic, formerly Czechoslovakia.

Thanks Dirk. The Parys Museum should be very interested in your work. First-ever aerial images of the town & surroundings. Helps to understand historical Gestalten one tries to complete but tends only to get lost in, the harder you try. Thanks for the lovely views we as old Parisians could only dream about.

Very lekker Dirk!. Maybe you could shoot a video at the Bronkhorstspruit dam wall. I took a bike ride out there recently and was surprised how pretty it is. A bit further downstream is a gorge with steep rocks. A favourite spot for the rock climbers and also very pretty.
