What is there to know about Pofadder? Well according to Wikitravel not much, or to be even more precise – nothing! Even Wikipedia’s is very vague about the dusty little town:
Pofadder (meaning Puff Adder in English) is a very small town in the Northern Cape region of South Africa. The surrounding districts are arid, sparsely populated, rugged and picturesque. There is little in the way of cropping and local farmers run sheep or goats for a living.
If anybody out there (even in Pofadder) knows more, in terms of some basic stats, like Pofadders’ population or even crime rates, please let me know – I’m intrigued!

Hi Believe it or not my surname is Pofadder.
I have only driven through Pofadder once in my entire life.
Do you have relatives there?
The drive through Pofadder takes a whole 24 seconds – hope you made the most out of it
Please let me know if you can tell me about Mr Gert? Niemoller who is most probably dead by now, but he used to mine SILIDIMITE and had a beautiful farm which was irrigated from an underground lake which he discovered.
Please let me know if anyone remembers a Mr Gert? Niemoller who used to farm near Pofadder. He had boreholes which pumped up plenty of water and irrigated his farm.
If you like wide open harsh country like the open spaces of USA, then this is for you.
