This Town Was The Hub Of The Diamond Industry - Now It's Been Swallowed By The Desert. At one point, over 1,000 people called Kolmanskop home, and participated in its booming industry - until everyone left. Zacharias Lewala was working as a railway laborer in the harsh edges of the Namib desert in South-Western Africa.. A trip to Kolmanskop in Namibia offers some spooky answers. When a glint in the sand caught the eye of Zacharias Lewala in 1908, the fortunes of Namibia (then the colony of German South West Africa) were transformed almost overnight. Lewala had stumbled across a field of diamonds millions of years old, the precious gems having been washed down.

Inside a building in the surreal ghost town of Kolmanskop. Photo: James Kerwin Photographic. Deep in the Namib Desert of Namibia lies a sight both eerie and unforgettable: Kolmanskop, a diamond mining ghost town slowly being reclaimed by the relentless sands. Grand colonial mansions stand empty, their rooms filled not with forgotten furniture.. As you step off the bus in Kolmanskop, you're immediately hit by the intense heat of the Namib Desert.There is a scattering of buildings, varying in size, dotted around the hilly terrain, and an old sign with Fraktur (Germanic) lettering to welcome you - to the abandoned diamond town which was once one of the wealthiest communities in Namibia.. It has been a long time since anyone lived in.
