Latest Check-Ins

Two security guys are usually working here. They are guarding the solar panels because thieves steal them. They have been working in shifts for 8 years. They work 20 days and then go home for 10. Two guys are usually here at a time and when one goes home a third one comes. Their names are Oteng, Thabang and Samuel. I chilled with Oteng and Thabang.

They don't have much here and have minimal supplies so I gave them fruit and some pastries and they really appreciated that. If you are able to, do bring them something. They are also 420 friendly so if you have some greens on you they would appreciate that too.

They also usually wait on the side of the road and wait for trucks to fill up water so make sure to bring your own water. I had about 8 liters with me but you can also fill up from trucks or cars passing by. I did so a couple of times.
