Oranjemund is poised to become the next mecca of growth and development, this is according to OMDis, the Town Transformation Agency, a special-purpose vehicle set to manage the lofty task of transforming Oranjemund into an economically diverse local authority.

This follows long-term plans revelation by the town’s key stakeholders of its well-publicised plans to have a fully-functioning independent town council with agriculture, tourism and technological innovations as the new economic frontiers.
