Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

Geocache Description:

Thawte is a company founded by Mark Shuttleworth and ultimately sold to Verisign. This transaction generated sufficient money to leave Mark as one of the most wealthy men in South Africa before his thirtieth birthday. It also enabled him to become the first African in Space when he flew to the International Spacestation as a space tourist. Thawte specialised in encryption software and was established in a house in the suburb of Durbanville. This cache is a tribute to Mark

The coordinates of the cache was encrypted with a Blowfish algorithm, utilising a nine byte key (because a Blowfish key must be in multiples of eight, the key was padded with seven bytes). The encrypted key (in Hexadecimal and padded with two bytes) is

8A2A82DA11B737A5230D73DD78D2FBA5C25D7ABF6A22D346

The nine byte key that will unlock the riddle can be found at the first coordinates and is in clear sight (written on the back). Remember to use Capital Letters for the nine byte key as the algorithm is "case sensitive"

The cache is a black pillbox with a logsheet and a pencil.
