Having previously written about the new capital and because it is such an interesting and important topic, I have indulged myself by spreading my comment over two issues. Hopefully geographers and physical planners with better knowledge will join in the debate. Thus, in no order of priority, let’s start.

I had hoped that Professor Mgadla would explain how the British Administration’s Investigating Committee came up with such a strange listing of possible sites for the new capital which included Manyane, Bokaa, the Tuli Block and Dibete! Seemingly he too was unable to find a satisfactory explanation.
