Debe (Flats)
Topo Cadastral Card 1974 Skin 3226 Fort Beaufort shows that there is western place names with the component Debe, viz. The Station Debe Neck and the Bantu village Mbem's (Debe) Location, both at K 3227 CC, and the River Debe, which is from the east on K 3226 DD in the Tyumie. We believe that Pettman has uneven and that Debe flats, like Debe neck, has his name of the river and therefore means 'brackish' (k. Debe, bitches, deba (neck), Debe (neck), Deba (Hollows)) .

Pettman 1931 SAPN 46 'Near King Williamstown, C.P., we have another similarly picturesque and descriptive Place Name in the Debe Flats (/' Debe, a person whose face is scored with tattoed lines), the reference being to the scored appearance of these Flats, the surface being covered with long, narrow depressions running for miles'.

Topo-kadastrale kaart 1974 vel 3226 Fort Beaufort toon dat daar ten weste van King William's Town enkele plekname voorkom met die komponent Debe, nl. die stasie Debe Nek en die Bantoedorp Mbem’s (Debe) location, albei op K 3227 CC, en die rivier Debe wat vanuit die ooste op K 3226 DD in die Tyumie uitmond. Ons meen dat Pettman hier ongelyk het en dat Debe Flats, soos Debe Nek, sy naam van die rivier het en dus 'Brak' beteken (k. DEBE, TEWE, DEBA(NEK), DEBE(NEK), DEBE (HOllOWS)).
