You can sit by the pool

But you can't have a swim unless you'd like to look like the toxic avenger. In the picture is one of the villages three in ground swimming pools. Yup, three of them and that is the best one. There is also two small (what looks like to have been) hot tub looking things. All in an advanced state of disrepair. What can be said, mismanagement, no management, maybe? It could go back to the original San (bushmen's) former lifestyle and culture. They didn't have swimming pools in the places they resided and it wasn't a part of their lives. The village was an ex military base and a ready made place of habitation. Also a fixed location as opposed to a moving around mode they were accustomed to. I am thinking here lies the problem with managing the village, no experienced people. Which I argue is more of a small city due to it's population of about 4,500. I am seeing various stages of deterioration without a consciousness of the fact that repairing is part of the process. Every village or city needs a few capable managers. This is the challenge in this village. Hopefully, someone will step up and rebuild the village to a semblance of it's former self. Kind of a 'Flight of the Phoenix' re-construction magic moment. Heck, we got a mile runway just waiting to be used. If only some community members could get the plane wreck ready to fly again. I think for now I'll stick with the soccer teams. Starting a swim team at this time could prove to be fatal. There is definitely things to do here. Two years doesn't look like enough time. Hell, even two lifetimes don't seem like it would be sufficient.
