After years of poor local governance, it seems it's going back to just being a desert where the lone and level sands stretch far away.

There is something sad about the platteland Karoo towns of the Eastern and Northern Cape: whatever they may have been, back in the heyday of the sheep and wool trade, now they are like a tarted-up trollop trying to turn her last trick before old age swamps her. Part of that is because of the inevitable cycle of life, which forever draws the young, the curious and the energetic towards the bright lights of the cities.

Part of that is because of the inevitable cycle of life, which forever draws the young, the curious and the energetic towards the bright lights of the cities.There may be places – like Willowmore, on the N9 road between the coast and the interior – where there is an appearance of change, with neat rows of matchbox RDP houses seeming to indicate that life is getting better.

Most people on the N9 roar past it, heading to fuel up, or eat, in a bigger place like Graaff Reinet. The woman owner points out, because we have missed it, a sign outside, which she erected, which urges tourists not to give money to the kids on the street, who lie in ambush, it seems, for newcomers.
