Paradise used to be the regional capital, however the administrative building burnt down in 2006.

In 2009, a decision was made to rebuild in Triumph, which has therefore become the regional capital.

[2][3] In 1842, the area next to Beterverwagting was bought by Lambert Christian and named Triumph.

[4] Christian ran into financial problems, and the people of Beterverwagting tried to buy the land in two terms.

The villagers aided by the local newspaper resisted, but to no avail.
