19 Replies	Rolbos is the remains of a small mining town in the Kalahari, after the Sillimananite was finished. During its boom years, the church was built and the main street got a name. Voortrekker Weg, spelled wrongly, does however help tell the story of the town and what remained of a once-flourishing community. Sammie’s Shop, Boggel’s Place and Precilla’s Apteek all line the street, as does the church, the diminutive post office and the police station. https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/joost-and-the-slushmobile/ and https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/the-spirits-of-rolbos/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/the-problem-with-the-president/

Boggel’s Place – the bar where most of the action takes place. https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/scottys-legacy/

Vetfaan – after a heart-wrenching break-up with the love of his life, he farms alone out on the other side of Bokkop, but spends most of his time in Boggel’s Place. Used to play lock for Kenhardt’s first team, where he learnt that beer is made from vegetables, wine from fruit and chocolate from nuts. Not the sharpest pencil in the box, but with a heart of gold. He sometimes makes a pass at Precilla, but she’s way too clever for him. https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/the- survivor/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/boggels-birthday/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/rolbos-the-sheepthrowing-competition/

Precilla – the beautiful young pharmacist who fits into her Levi’s like no woman should. Her abusive youth left her with major issues with men, although she does blossom when the conversation is light and merry. Her love affair in high school ended badly. https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/precillas-letter/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/a-little-valentines-goes-a-long-way/
Vrede – the town’s dog. No less of a character than the rest. A policedog that rebelled against the way things get done in the force these days, and a dog of high morals. https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/its-in-the-eyes/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/rules/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/02/20/a-tro-of-tragedies/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/vredes-tale/ https://rolbos.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/unidentified-flying-dogs/

Reply ↓	Amos van der Merwe Post authorMarch 28, 2012 at 3:23 pm	Ah, dis maklik. Sweef weg op daardie wolkie van ‘Ek wens die wêreld was sò’ en siedaar! Dankie vir die lees…

Reply ↓	brieweuitdievreemde December 11, 2012 at 12:49 pm	Ek het nie besef jy beskryf ‘n denkbeeldige plek nie, want dit klink amper NET SOOS die dorpie waar ek (regtig) bly in die Groot Karoo :)
Reply ↓	Amos van der Merwe Post authorDecember 11, 2012 at 2:40 pm	Dankie! Rolbos is eintlik ‘n versameling van herinneringe aan kleindorp-Karoo, Noordkaap en Suidwes – so jy’s eintlik in die kol met jou opmerking!

Reply ↓	Joanne October 30, 2014 at 2:46 am	Ag please make this into a long running TV series. I love the characters and am looking forward to getting to know them better. Although they feel like family after reading just the brief descriptions! Great great writing.
Reply ↓	Amos van der Merwe Post authorOctober 30, 2014 at 7:49 am	Thank you so much, Joanne! Let’s dream about that TV series – could be a whole heap of fun!
Reply ↓	Nikita August 3, 2015 at 12:58 am	Jare terug was daar ‘n radio program oor plekname in SA en Grootdrink was een van die name! Ek onthou dit goed. Dan was daar Kleinzee ook wat op die program bespreek was. Ek het nooit daardie program gemis nie. Jy moet bietjie vir ons die plekke daar rondom jou blog. Dit klink lekker om daar te bly!
Reply ↓	Amos van der Merwe Post authorAugust 3, 2015 at 7:23 am	Daardie deel van die Noord-Kaap lê my na aan die hart.Rolbos is ‘n besondere plek en die karakters wat daar bly het almal eienskappe van mense wat ek al ontmoet het. Alhoewel die dorpie suiwer fiksie is, bied dit ‘n veilige hawe vir enigiemand met ‘n kreatiewe verbeelding.. Welkom tuis, Nikita!
Reply ↓	Nikita August 3, 2015 at 12:13 pm	En daar dink ek Rolbos is ‘n plek in SA! haha.. dit wys jou HOE goed jy skryf! Ek moet bysê, ek het nie als op jou blog gelees nie, die dat ek so gedink het! :) Ek sal meermale hier moet kom lees! :)
