Oudtshoorn, South Africa

(btw, the kehilla in Oudtshoorn, a little town in the middle of a huge semi-desert has a fascinating history. At one time it was called Yerushalayim d’Africa. It was the world centre of the trade in ostrich feathers which was very big in the late 1800s. There was a big litvishe kehilla there with many people who had learned in the great yeshivos of the time. Many seforim were printed there even though geographically they were cut off from the big kehillos of the world. It has now dwindled, but when I last heard about 15 years ago, they still had their own shchita and daily minyonim.)
