sinkholes

Its amazing that we were together in Joburg such a short time ago, and didn't talk about sinkholes, though I was researching them. There is a weird history around Carltonville and sinkholes - in one story from the 60s, a whole factory of three storeys was consumed, in another one, a house disappeared with the family inside. You're making connections I've been thinking about too. Its kind of like our own sinkhole/blackhole/whirlpool effect, everything swirling together, circling each other, moving towards an abyss.
