Kandous(Berg, -Rivier)
We have no direct indication whatsoever, indirectly as far as the can or plum bushes are abundant, and the member can - remind us of a possible connection with the plum forest or oyris compressus. The old cards give the closing part as -Do-S, but the surveying of surveying 1955 says the part is expressed with accent as 'Kandons River'. The -dous power means 'gate, gap', as often elsewhere. 'Plum bush gap'?

Ons het hoegenaamd geen regstreekse aanduiding nie, wel onregstreeks in sover as wat die kan- of pruimbosse hier volop is, en die lid Kan- ons laat dink aan ’n moontlike verband met die pruimbos of Osyris compressus. Die ou kaarte gee die slotdeel aan as -do-s, maar die Vraelys van Opmeting 1955 se dat die deel met aksent uitgespreek word as 'Kandonsrivier'. Die -dous- mag beteken 'poort, kloof', soos dikwels elders. 'Pruimbos- kloof'?
