Oranjemund, at the
mouth of the Orange River, owes its existence to diamonds. So great was its
wealth, that in 1944 it supplanted Kolmanskop as the CDM headquarters. With
a population of 8000, Oranjemund is now an archetypal company town, with
100% employment, subsidized housing and medical care for its workers and
their families. Despite its desert location, CDM maintains golf course and
large areas of green parkland. All Oranjemund visitors must have a permit from CDM.
