Norber witnessed 1 all.--How many people?
--It was two hundred all village.
--And you, your family were one of those...
--Yes, I was grown up with my grandmother. You see, at that time, my mother was in Cape 2 Town, and I stayed with my grandmother. And my grandmother take me to Riemvasmaak. It was quite probably. Yes, I was nine years old at that time. As I remember, I was nine years old.
--In 1994, when land was given back to the South Africans, this village was the first bit of land to be returned.
--Returned. That's correct.
--Your village.
--My village. Yes, and I'm really proud of it. And I know that the government tell us that the army, they move from Riemvasmaak, and Riemvasmaak has come back. I was the first one. I say go to the Riemvasmaak.
--But now as an adult, does it make you angry?
--No, no, no, no. It is not my problem. It's not your problem. It's about this time. It's off.
--It's gone.
--It's gone. Let's take hands and go forward.
--What's the future for here?
--Oh, we are still have to grow, you see. But I can see, our income would ** to tourism.
--The potential, you mean.
--The potential, yeah.
--Because I went to the tourist office here. I looked in, but it's closed.
--It's closed? Oh, that's way. There's no facilities? Office you can see it, but it's not working yet.
--But it needs to be plugged 3 in.
--Plugged in. This is our problem.
There is no doubting that Riemvasmaak has a hunger for change. Norber Amnarld is keen 4 to attract visitors in the way that many other parts of South Africa have already managed. Just outside of town, on the route 5 of my walk lies the newest toruist development yet. The Hot Spring project lies close to Norber's heart. He remembers his own grandmother bathing 6 in the natural warm waters and was keen to help turn the site into a proper spa attraction 7.
