Keimoes: Many tourists travel through Keimoes on route between Gauteng and Cape Town. Here you can see Tierberg and the Water Wheel. Little do they realize that this lush green town in the semi desert consists of more than 120 islands – with people actually living on most of them! Keimoes boasts a rich history. When one uses your imagination, it is easy to picture the Korana chiefs Klaas Lukas and Piet Rooi who used to hide up to 10 000 stolen livestock on the island maze in the 19th century. That explains the name of one of the koppies – Loerberg. Directly translated this means "Mountain from where one can peep".
