Small South African town once known as “dream city” where 1 million televisions and 500,000 fridges are built every year

Sold as the "bruin droomstad" by the Apartheid government, Atlantis in the Western Cape has seen significant changes since 1994, including the construction of a factory that produces 1 million televisions and 500,000 fridges every year.

Wow, interesting article. Earlier this year, I had a 1-day work trip to the Eskom peaking plant at Atlantis. I should have stayed another day to explore the town and its surroundings. I enjoyed driving there along the coastal road and back to the airport via the highway (N7). A lot has changed since the early 2000s, when I had a flat at the then-new Parklands.
