Hoerikwaggo

Description

Hoerikwaggo meaning "sea mountain", the San name for Table Mountain. The name was thought to be appropriate and relevant given the building's proximity to the mountain, and the fact that the San were the first inhabitants in the Western Cape. It responds too, to the NOBC's recommendation to consider an indigenous language with links to the Western Cape. Several suggested names had reflected the physical location of the building on the side of the Table Mountain range and Hoerikwaggo may be the earliest name for Table Mountain. (Robert Gordon 1779; John Barrows 1797; cited by Nienaber and
Raper 1977: 560) . Source: Council EXCO minutes 7 July 2005.
