Town some 11km north of Alcockspruit and 35km south-west of Utrecht. Of Zulu origin, the name is variously said to mean ‘the unexpected one’, referring to the way the river may suddenly come down in flood; ‘thorn-tree river’, referring to Dichrostachys or Acacia trees growing along the banks, or ‘skeleton river’, the reference being uncertain.[1]
