| | Kakamas To some the town's name originates from the Khoi word, "gagamas" (brown), referring to the red clay of the area with which women daub their faces. To most, though, Kakamas is a Koranna word meaning "poor pasture" and "vicious, charging ox". Legend has it that grazing in the vicinity was poor and, when cattle were driven through the river's drifts, some sonsistently turned on their drivers. Today, the name reflects poorly on a fertile valley in the Lower Orange River, graced with vineyards, cotton and lucern fields. The drought of 1895-97 was followed by an outbreak of rinderpest, leaving many farmers destitute. | |

| ORANJERIViER SE WATERVLAK STYG VERDER | UPINGTON – Die watervlak van die Oranjerivier by Upington het gister
verder gestyg met reën wat net ná 19:00 oor die dorp uitgesak het,
terwyl nog brûe gister in die streek gesluit is.
Die brûe by Upington en Kakamas is steeds oop en teen gister laat was
daar nog nie sprake dat dit toegemaak sou word nie. Water het vroegaand
aan die laagliggende ingangspunte van die voetgangerbrug begin knibbel. | Read More...

| | | WOORDE VLOEI SOOS RIVIERWATER | Net soos die groot verskeidenheid landbougewasse wat uit die vrugbare
grond langs die magtige Oranje spruit duik letterkundige meesterstukke
al vir dekades soos papirusplante langs die Nyl op.

skrywers het al probeer om die unike karakter van die river en sy mense
op papier vas te lê, maar dit sit nie in enigeen se broek om die mense
