Aggeneys Argus July 1973: A brief history of Aggeneys as told by V.Burger 'Aggeneys is the name of a kloof on Vickie Burger’s farm... long before the turn of the century, the Bushmen had several strongholds in the mountains between Pofadder and Springbok and from these they carried out raids on the farmers. Finally, the farmers could no longer tolerate the marauding Bushmen and formed a commando which followed the spoor of the Bushmen and the livestock that they had stolen to the kloof, which is today known as Aggeneys. Near the kloof they split into three parties which surrounded and trapped the Bushmen at a spring near the confluence of three ravines. The Bushmen were wiped out and the kloof became known to them as ‘The Place of Blood’. The Nama Coloureds have always known the kloof as ‘The Place of Water’, as there were several natural springs there, but to this day no one is quite certain of the origin of the name Aggeneys...' Duggan KI 1974 Sekretaresse Gesprek 'Aggeneys beteken die ‘Plek van rooi klei’, en soos ’n ou priester, vader J.
