You may have heard the news that Property agency Home & Hectare recently announced that the Karoo town of Middelpos in the Northern Cape will go on auction on 21 May. We wondered if listeners of The Ryan O’Connor Breakfast Show had what it takes to come together and bring new life to a dorpie.
Middelpos is considered to be one of the last remaining authentic Karoo villages.
