It has been called the Uranium Capital of the World as it is located just 15 km outside the world's largest open-pit uranium mine, the Rössing Uranium Mine. From Khoekhoegowab, 'the place where people cry'.[3] Established for the workers of Rössing Uranium in 1978, Arandis was granted self–administration and "town" status in 1994.[4] {{As of|2010|alt=Currently}} it has 7,600 inhabitants, most of whom are somehow connected to the mine, and owns {{Convert|29|km2|sqmi}} of land.[5] It is the home of the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology, a technical institute focusing on training skilled industrial workers. Economy and infrastructureThe 2000s saw a resurgence in economic growth in Arandis. With the global energy crisis, a significant rise in demand occurred for nuclear energy, increasing demand for Arandis' Uranium. Banks, which had previously closed and youth who had previously left the town seeking employment elsewhere, returned.[6] In 2008, negotiations were at an advanced stage for a Chinese company, Namibia Industrial Mining Limited to build a factory for making building materials in Arandis.[7] After an investment conference was held in 2011, investors have decided to erect a shopping mall in town. Construction of the mall started soon afterwards, the anticipated completion date is May 2013.[8] TransportationArandis Railway Station is a crossing loop on the Trans-Namib Railway between Swakopmund and Usakos. Arandis Airport is also nearby. PoliticsArandis is governed by a town council that {{As of|November 2015|alt=currently}} has seven seats.[9] In the 2010 local authority elections SWAPO won the town council with 664 votes. The United Democratic Front (UDF) finished in 2nd place with 243 votes while the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP) received 72 votes.[10] SWAPO also won the 2015 local authority elections, gaining 5 seats (780 votes). The remaining 2 seats went to the UDF (295 votes).[11] References1. ^{{cite web | title=Table 4.2.2 Urban population by Census years (2001 and 2011) | url=http://cms.my.na/assets/documents/p19dmn58guram30ttun89rdrp1.pdf | work=Namibia 2011 - Population and Housing Census Main Report | publisher=Namibia Statistics Agency | accessdate=24 August 2016 | page=39}} 2. ^ 3. ^{{Cite book|title=Place Names of Namibia A Historical Dictionary|last=Cassidy|first=Joseph|publisher=Macmillan Education Namibia Publishers (Pty) Ltd|year=2009|isbn=978-99916-0-654-5|location=Windhoek|pages=1}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.namibian.com.na/news-articles/national/full-story/archive/2011/november/article/investment-confrence-promotes-arandis/ |title=Investment conference promotes Arandis |last=Hartman |first=Adam |date=8 November 2011 |newspaper=The Namibian |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120606181312/http://www.namibian.com.na/news-articles/national/full-story/archive/2011/november/article/investment-confrence-promotes-arandis/ |archivedate=6 June 2012 }} 5. ^{{cite news|title=ELECTIONS 2010: Erongo regional profile|publisher=New Era|url=http://www.newera.com.na/article.php?articleid=14109|date=16 November 2010}} 6. ^{{Cite news | title=Rising Interest in Nuclear Power Brings New Life to Uranium Mining | last=Timberg | first=Craig | newspaper=The Washington Post | date=6 December 2006 | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/05/AR2006120501360.html}} 7. ^{{Cite news | title=Chinese firm plans Arandis factory | newspaper=The Namibian | publisher=NAMPA | date=23 July 2008 | url=http://www.namibian.com.na/index.php?id=44647}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.newera.com.na/articles/47083/Arandis-mall-takes-shape|title=Arandis mall takes shape|last=de Klerk|first=Eveline|date=21 August 2012|work=New Era}} 9. ^{{Cite news | title=Know Your Local Authority | publisher=Institute for Public Policy Research | newspaper=Election Watch | year = 2015 | issue=3 | page=4}} 10. ^Result of the 2010 Local Authority Elections for Arandis Electoral Commission of Namibia {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120316164320/http://www.ecn.na/results/2010/Press_Release_Local_Authority_-_Erongo-Arandis.pdf |date=March 16, 2012 }} 11. ^{{cite web | title=Local elections results | publisher = Electoral Commission of Namibia | page=1 | url=http://www.ecn.na/documents/27857/218731/LA+results+%28press+release%29+2015.pdf/870a030b-8547-487f-ad18-b22713b16d4c?version=1.0 | date=28 November 2015}} External links{{Commons category|Arandis}}{{Coord|22|25|00|S| 14|58|00|E|region:NA_type:city|display=title}} 4 : Populated places in the Erongo Region|Towns in Namibia|Populated places established in 1978|1978 establishments in South West Africa |
