The two acts are where the Black-Doring River inflows into the Green River. The necessary is said above. A sanname is included here, because the concept 'Bushman' is currently used in this area very loose. The intended 'Gifbos' with a processable tribe could not determine our botanical.

eng Surveying 1957 'PE PE Kloof, Magistrate District Namaqualand, 12 miles [19 km] Suidwes of Garies. Old name for a gorge. PE PE is the name given to a kind of gifbos. The Bushians used the stem earlier to make a kind of whistle from it. The flutes were used for the imitation of the sound that makes wildlife. The whistles give off a kind of pe-noise. The gorge is located on the farm Tweerivians. Information obtained from Mr Nieuwoudt of the farm Tweerivians '.

Die Boesnians het vroeër die stam gebruik om ’n soort van fluit daaruit te maak. Die fluite is gebruik vir die na- bootsing van die geluid wat wild maak. Die fluite gee 'n soort van pe- pe-geluid af. Die kloof is geleë op die plaas Tweeriviere. Inligting verkry van mnr Nieuwoudt van die plaas Tweeriviere'.
Description
eng The two acts are where the Black-Doring River inflows into the Green River. The necessary is said above. A sanname is included here, because the concept 'Bushman' is currently used in this area very loose. The intended 'Gifbos' with a processable tribe could not determine our botanical.
afr Die Tweeriviere is waar die Swart-Doringrivier in die Groenrivier invloei. Die nodige is hierbo gesê. 'n Sannaam word hier ingesluit, omdat die begrip 'Boesman' tans in hierdie omgewing baie los gebruik word. Die bedoelde 'gifbos' met 'n verwerkbare stam kon ons botanies nie vasstel nie.
