Kathu.. also one of the hottest or coldest( depending in season) and dustiest towns in south africa.
The collective taxable income of the town and fact that most of money earmed in that toen stays in that town as people spend it there as other places are just too far away,is probably what got them labled richest town..sars is smiling all the way.
Would they know that a advertising platform like ESA exist thats another question?
Maybe a advertising campaign to get ESA noticed would need to happen in Kathu first before ladies will be noticed as new in town. ;)
Or would ladies use the old "classified" adverts to get the word out that they in town?
To top it off mining towns are like little dorpies nomatter how big they are.( i know i grew up on a mining dorpie) everyone knows everyone and everything about everyone ;) Wifes and churches and community groups rule little mining towns.
I remember there was a punter here on ESA a long time ago that wanted a lady/ladies to go out to Kathu and he said he would organize accomodation and make sure its worth their while. Wonder if he ever got anyone to take him up on that offer.

Small town like that, everyone knows everyone else's business. Can tell you now that those guys find an excuse to go to Upington or Kimberley when they want to drop a load, other than the wife

A quick scan of online classifieds ... 132 on one popular site and 42 on another. This site has one advert. Seems like Kathu needs a more organised and dedicated advertising platform to penetrate that market ...
