Keisie- Of Kiesie(Rivier)
The river flows to the northern slopes of the Langeberg Mountains first and then bends south to become united on the southwestern side of Montagu with the Kingna River. Under the new name of Kog- menkloof (river) flows to the Breede River as a tributary of Horn. Both statements are apparently Oudr Ojrdie 'Section Card of Montagu 1890 is entered the river name as' caesies ', the mountain name as' kiezes mountain '. The name is under the entry sake (mountain) ... already booked in th ** 687- 8 and the meaning on the basis of communication of RJ Gordon given as 'ugly (river)', a statement that we adopted on the authority of Gordon. The statements mentioned above therefore are joking.

Surveying 1953 'Chekier River, name by earlier generations, for a river walking through the town of Montagu. Name presumably Hottentot or Bushman. Also be pronounced keys, emphasis on kee. According to inquiries I did, it seems that no certainty about the meaning of the name does not exist. According to some things, it means 'young girl', according to others again 'shiny water'. ' Information span by magistrate J. Greunen.

Opmeting 1953 'Kiesierivier, naam deur vroeër geslagte gebruik, vir ’n rivier wat deur die dorpsgebied van Montagu loop. Naam vermoedelik Hottentot of Boesman. Word ook uitgespreek Keisie, nadruk op Kei-. Volgens navrae wat ek gedoen het, blyk dit dat geen sekerheid oor die betekenis van die naam bestaan nie. Volgens sommige ingesêtenes beteken dit ‘Jong meisie', volgens ander weer ‘Blink water’.' Inligting ver- strek deur landdros J. Greunen.
Description

The river flows to the northern slopes of the Langeberg Mountains first and then bends south to become united on the southwestern side of Montagu with the Kingna River. Under the new name of Kog- menkloof (river) flows to the Breede River as a tributary of Horn. Both statements are apparently Oudr Ojrdie 'Section Card of Montagu 1890 is entered the river name as' caesies ', the mountain name as' kiezes mountain '. The name is under the entry sake (mountain) ... already booked in th ** 687- 8 and the meaning on the basis of communication of RJ Gordon given as 'ugly (river)', a statement that we adopted on the authority of Gordon. The statements mentioned above therefore are joking.

Die rivier vloei aan die noordelike hange van die langeberge eers oos- waarts en buig dan suidwaarts om aan die suidwestelike kant van Montagu verenig te raak met die Kingnarivier. Onder die nuwe naam van Kog- manskloof(rivier) vloei hulle na die Breederivier toe as ’n sytak van horn. Albei uitsprake is blykbaar oudr ojrdie'Afdelingskaart van Montagu 1890 is die riviernaam ingeskryf as 'Keisies', die bergnaam as 'Kiezes Berg'. Die naam is onder die inskrywing KEISIE(BERG)... reeds bespreek in TH A** 687-8 en die betekenis op grond van mededeling van RJ Gordon gegee as 'lelike(rivier)', ’n verklaring wat ons op gesag van Gordon aan- vaar het. Die verklarings wat hierbo ter plaatse ingewin is, doen dus grap- pig aan.
