Hi Travis,
Vyf Rand (Five Dollar) is located 3.5 km SSE of Okahandja, Namibia; the of the settlement is precisely at the following latitude/longitude:
Latitude: 22˚ 0’31.76” S
Longitude: 16˚ 55’36.35” E
Vyf Rand is an informal settlement, which originated as a group of workers’ dwellings on a farm. As more and more friends and relatives arrived, it morphed into an informal settlement (the politically correct term for squatter’s camp”). It currently has approximately 3000-4000 residents. The name is derived from the original fee the farmer charged families per month for water.
Hope this helps.
