“120 years ago, there were pirates operating along the Orange river, stealing and terrorising the local farmers Sir Thomas Upington, Attorney-General of the Cape, set up a policing organisation who defeated the pirates and caught the pirate captain, Klaas Lucas. In recognition the town Upington, was named after him.” - Chris Smit, 2024/06/30
