Pomfret is a desert town, the site of an old asbestos mine, on the edge of the Kalahari desert in northwest South Africa. It was the administrative centre of Molopo Local Municipality before 18 May 2011, when the municipality merged with Kagisano to form the Kagisano–Molopo Local Municipality. Many of its inhabitants are former members of 32 Battalion, also known as Buffalo Battalion. These ex-soldiers were predominantly Portuguese-speaking Angolans who fought on the South African government side in Angola and Namibia, and after the end of the South African Border War to police the black townships. The community remains largely Portuguese-speaking.
Pomfret is 'n woestyndorpie op die rant van die Kalahari-woestyn by 'n asbesmyn in Noordwes, Suid-Afrika. Baie van die inwoners is voormalige lede van die 32-Bataljon. Hulle is oorwegend Portugeessprekende Angolese soldate wat aan die kant van die Suid-Afrikaanse regering in Angola en Namibië geveg het. Teen die einde van die grensoorlog het hulle die polisie gehelp om wet en orde in die swart woonbuurte van Suid-Afrika te handhaaf.
