Van der Bijl FP 1977 Boer Brief [geskryf om ’n verbetering aan te bring by wat verskyn het in TH A* 433] 'Op Kameelpoort nr 26, 5 km suid van my plaas Hoaseb, was ’n winkel in 1947. Hulle wou ’n halte op Kameelpoort he vir die aflaai van vrag vir die winkel. Die halte is genoem ‘Goaseb’. ‘Hoaseb', my plaas, en ‘Goaset’ klink so eenders dat dit ver- warring geskep het. Op my dringende versoek is die naam ‘Goaseb’ vir die halte toe verander, dit is nou ‘Mankjan’.'
