There is a small fishing and tourism town near Capetown in South Africa called Houtbay.

During the Apartheid Era, as a semi-serious protest come public relations stunt, they ceremonially "cut the telephone cable" to Pretoria and printed
their own passports.

As far as I know they didn't actually cut the real cable, just symbolically.

And the passports?

As far as I know several blokes are trying to see how far around the world they can get on a Houtbay passport!
