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.

Located between Sutherland and Calvinia in the Northern Cape, and the sale of the town includes: 3 homes, a town hall, an old post office, a building that could be used as a factory, and some irrigable land.
