What is this? Where i grew up there was a spot where you can get in the cave and dig to 5 feets and get that, nice, shining and keep it in your room for decoration. Years later i discovered that was gold and it's traded for other benefits then i ran back to the place and found a gold mine with reserved rights of admission then i missed the chance of opening my gold mine. This world have a wide range of business opportunities and we need to use those to get more gold into our pockets.

Durban rocks

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

The Portuguese seafarer Vasco da Gama arrived at the bay of the Durban of today on Christmas Eve in the year 1497, and called it "Terra do Natal", Christmas Country. Because the Portuguese had already established a good port at Maputo, they were not interested in settling in a bay surrounded by mangrove swamps and dense coastal forests. Only sporadically some pirates and ivory or slave dealers laid anchor, and it was much later, in the year 1824, that a proper settlement started, initially named "Port Natal". It was founded by merchants from the Cape Colony under the leadership of Henry Francis Fynn, who had reached a contractual agreement with the mighty Zulu King Shaka authorising them to establish a trading station. In 1835 the town was named Durban after the Cape Governor of the time, Sir Benjamin D'Urban.In the beginning the settlement developed very slowly. There was no support or protection by the british government. The life in the little harbour town was characterised by uncertainty. Time and again there were assaults and skirmishes by the Zulus, who - obviously - saw Natal as their tribal homeland and only tolerated the white settlers, because the town was of use to them as a trading station.
In 1837 the Voortrekkers arrived in Natal. A delegation lead by Piet Retief negotiated a contract with Zulu King Dingane granting them the land between Durban and the Tugela river to found a Boer Republic in Natal. Then, shortly afterwards, Dingane had the entire delegation killed. After several more bloody assaults and attacks, the Voortrekkers defeated the Zulus in the dramatic Battle at the Bloodriver. Subsequently the Afrikaners founded their Republic "Natalia" and laid claim on Durban, which, however, met with strong resistance from the British. They sent troops to Durban, who were defeated in the Battle of Congella in 1842. But in the following year the English could secure their dominance in Natal. The Voortrekkers resorted to trekking further north and found a new home in the Orange Free State and the Transvaal. In 1844, Natal - with Durban - was incorporated into the British Cape Colony.Now Durban was set to become one of the most important seaports of the British Empire. Particularly significant was the boom of the sugarcane industry in Natal towards the end of the 19th century. Durban's seaport became the largest sugar terminal in the world.Today, more than 4 million people live in the metropolitan area of Durban. The city is - after Johannesburg - the second-largest in South Africa. Durban disposes of extensive industrial areas and the biggest seaport in South Africa.Right: Port Natal (oil painting, British Library)Left: Vasco da Gama, King Shaka, Henry F. Fynn

Real investment on property

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

This is real property, tangible and i can bet my last cent to obtain one apartment out of the whole property and guess what i can produce thousands. Remember this is more than just the piece of real estate for that perspective you need to wear business glasses, What would you do if you can get just one floor of that building? Would you sell it, keep it, rent it out for montly cash flows?
This is new property in Braamfontein, Johannesburg and every inverstor is probably keen to invest there, For some of us it's the matter of obtaining capital.

City of gold

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

Just over 100 years ago, the economic and industrial centre of South Africa today was an endless untouched savannah. This changed very fast when the first gold was found in 1886. The news spread like wildfire and the area experienced an unprecedented gold rush. The government sent two deputies, who founded a little settlement and named it after the first name they both had in common, Johannesburg. Three years later the place was the biggest town in the country. By 1875 almost 100,000 people lived in Johannesburg and the mines employed more than 75,000 workers.

Piet Retief, Mpumalanga province, South Africa.

Voortrekker Piet Retief was the person for whom this town was named upon its 1883 inception. In the heart of massive timber plantations, it has enjoyed a rich and eventful history.Voortrekker descendants were the founders of the original village, but settlers of all nationalities, among them Germans and Scots, soon found the tranquil grass and timberlands setting attractive. Today the town is a well-located, hospitable place, where modern amenities and one of the country's most importent timber industries mingle with an aroma of tradition.
