That church has the most horrible, oppressive feeling when you walk into it. It's as if someone hung a millstone around your neck up entering. It also smells very strongly - and old - probably hundreds of years worth of floor polish.

It seems like a beautiful protestant church to me (it has this stern Dutch protestant interior) but do you think something has happened there that might explain the oppressive feeling ?

[Kazimiera]

I think the fact that it is Dutch protestant is reason enough. I have that feeling when I walk into any of them. The one in Franschhoek is an example and the Grootte Kerk in Cape Town too. It's like walking into a courtroom with the ghosts of generations of stern and dead Afrikaners judging you from the benches. It's not pleasant. I've been in a few other Dutch protestant churches and it's as if something screams at me, "Get out! Get out! We don't want you here!" I'm happy to comply and leave.

This is a pic of the (only) church in my mom's town. She is friends with the organist. This woman had a stroke and she plays that organ with one hand like someone else can play only with two. She has the keys to the church so she can go in at any time to play the organ as long as she likes. I went to visit my mom a couple years ago and the lady invited us to listen to her play. Unfortunately I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed, but my husband and mom went with her.

My mom has gone to one church service there. She said she is never going again. It's like a desert for the soul (her words).

From these photos you can see what I call the "courtroom" feeling. There's no God there! They decide whether they're going to hang you or not. All they're interested in is the "guilty" verdict. And fire and brimstone.

At least, that is the vibe I get from those churches. Creepy.

Interestingly, the organist has a degree in music and she knows all the Latin hymns too. She started belting out the Te Deum and Tanto Ergo on that old organ! Fortunately it was on a Wednesday morning and all the Afrikaners were probably at a prayer circle for the dying and decrepit. They'd die of heart failure if they knew that kind of music was being played in their beloved NG church!

The Ratel vehicle is well named as its armament and mobility make it a formidable opponent. It was designed and produced at a time when South Africa was subject to ever more strict international embargoes. The Ratel allowed the SADF to wage conventional warfare from 1976 onwards as the South African Border War escalated and cross-border operations became more frequent and more complex. The Ratel 90 serves as a fire support vehicle used to knock out strong points and, while not originally designed for the anti-tank role, proved more than a match for the T-34/85 encountered early on during the South African Border War. As from 1981, the stakes were raised when FAPLA received T-54, T-55 and T-62 tanks from the Soviet Union and Cuba. Mechanised Infantry Groups fielding Ratel 90s achieved success by skillfully outmanoeuvring the newer Soviet tanks which required multiple hits with 90 mm high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds from their 90 mm guns, often at point blank range at vulnerable points (engine vents, turret rings) in order to disable them.

The Ratel is a South African infantry fighting vehicle. It was the first wheeled infantry fighting vehicle to enter service worldwide. An indigenous design developed in the 1970s, albeit with French weapons to replace the Saracen armoured personnel carrier. The prototype was delivered in 1974 and the first production vehicle in 1976. The Mk2 entered production in 1979 and the Mk3 in 1988. The Mk3 fleet was upgraded in 2001 when about 70 modifications were made. The type has been exported to Morocco (60), Jordan (320), Ghana (40) and Djibouti (15).

(EN) Pretoria is a city in the northern part of Gauteng Province, South Africa. It is one of the country's three capital cities, serving as the executive (administrative) and de facto national capital; the others are Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital. Pretoria is sometimes regarded as being divided into three sections: West, East and north, relative to the CBD. Pretoria is contained within the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality as one of several constituent former administrations (among which also Centurion and Soshanguve). Pretoria itself is sometimes referred to as "Tshwane" due to a long-running and controversial proposed change of name, which has yet to be decided, as of 2012. Pretoria is named after Andries Pretorius

Nestled in the heart of the Western Cape province of South Africa, the Swartberg Pass stands as a majestic testament to nature's artistry. Its name, derived from Afrikaans, translates to "black mountain" in English, paying homage to the dramatic Swartberg mountain range it traverses.
