“Leeu-Gamka, formerly known as Fraserburg, is a small town on the N1, 78 Km S/West of Beaufort West in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The town lies at the confluence of the Leeu and the Gamka Rivers. "Leeu" and "Gamka" both mean "Lion", in Afrikaans and ǀXam respectively. (Hence the tautological name.)” - Chris Smit, 2013/08/13
