Title
Orusovo - The Namibian Connection
Description
Orusovo started out as a simple personal dream to own a little piece of land on which to live and let live - my own chunk of nature. In 1987 the dream was realized with the purchase of 75Ha of pristine nature (In plain English - lots of sand, rocks and bush) some 20Km outside Windhoek, the capital City of Namibia. Here we created the ideal mix of happy country living while being close to a major city.
Upon buying the property, I challenged my staff at the time to come up with an interesting name for it. The winner, Frans Kustaa, came up with ORUSOVO. This is a word derived from Otjiherero, an indigenous language, and cannot be directly translated into English. The closest I can come to putting meaning to it is - PEACEFULNESS (not quite the same as TRANQUILLITY)
We are Namibians by virtue of long residence in the country. We actually arrived long before it became the Republic of Namibia. In those bad old days it was known as Southwest Africa, and was governed under League of Nations mandate by the Republic of South Africa. Here I [Philip] worked in the office automation game for all of my life, until I retired myself in 1995. I then started a new business in the outdoor, caravaning and leisure scene, which I sold after two years and started looking for something new to keep myself out of trouble. This is it!
