Gonna(Kraal)
This post office (at the time of the questionnaire, it always existed) was then in an opening or 'island' in the 'forest reserve' (so entered on the Topo Cadastral Series 1969 sheet 3322 Oudtshoorn) Eastern from George. On the available Maps we do not find the name (cf. eg the division card of 1890, or on the early maps at Koeman 1952). There are other places with this name, eg. Gonnakraal on CC, ie west of George (on the Put murder kuyl), a name that occurs on cards. Smith CA 1966 CNSAP 232 Disclose that the Gonna is a collective name for species of Thymelaeaceae, especially for the T. Pusserina and Struthiola, and that Gonnaas is very useful for use as described by Mr Grobler. On his authority: One of the uses is for making branch bays, eg. For horn cattle or cattle, but in many names in this area is a 'bead' the accommodation of a captain and its people.
