Arandis (Khoekhoe: the place where people cry) is a town in the Erongo Region of western central Namibia. 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. Established for the workers of Rössing Uranium in 1978, Arandis was granted self–administration and "town" status in 1994. Currently it has 7,600 inhabitants, most of whom are somehow connected to the mine, and owns 29 square kilometres (11 sq mi) of land.
