Die Rössing uraanmyn naby Arandis

Arandis is 'n dorp in die Namibiese streek van Erongo, wat in 1976 gestig is. Dit is 15 km buite een van die wêreld se grootste oopgroefuraanmyne, die Rössing-uraanmyn. Die naam kom vanaf Nama, wat beteken 'die plek waar mense huil'.[2]

Arandis is in 1978 gestig vir die werkers by die Rössing-uraanmyn, en het in 1994 dorpstatus ontvang.[3] In 2010 was die bevolking 7 600, waarvan meeste by die myn werk wat 29 km² van die grond besit.[4]

Ekonomie en infrastruktuur

[wysig | wysig bron]

In 2000 was daar 'n herlewing in ekonomiese groei in Arandis. Met die wêreldwye energiekrisis het 'n aansienlike toename in kernkrag plaasgevind, met toenemende vraag na Arandis se uraan. Selfs banke wat voorheen gesluit het, het teruggekeer.[5]
