Everything about Gamtoos River totally explained
Gamtoos River is situated in the
Eastern Cape Province of
South Africa and is approximately 645 km long with a catchment area of 34,635 km². The name Gamtoos is probably derived from a
Khoikhoi clan whose name was given by early
Dutch settlers as "Gamtousch".
Although the rainfall in the catchment area is low it supports a commercial irrigated agriculture in the lower catchment in which
oranges,
tobacco,
citrus fruit and
vegetables are grown. Where the Gamtoos river enters the
Indian Ocean between
Jeffreys Bay and
Port Elizabeth there's the Gamtoos River Mouth Nature Reserve. The towns of
Hankey, the oldest town situated in the Gamtoos river valley and
Patensie is situated in the lower catchment. Further inland are the towns of
Steytlerville,
Joubertina,
Uniondale,
Willowmore and
Murraysburg.
Sarah Baartman - the "Hottentot Venus" - was born around
1789 in the vicinity of the Gamtoos river.
