Human settlement in South Africa

is a farm in the North West province of South Africa that is noted for its unusually long place name of 44 characters—the longest in South Africa and possibly fourth longest in the world. Located in the Ditsobotla Local Municipality of the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality, some east of the town of Lichtenburg and west of Pretoria, the name in Afrikaans means "the spring where two buffaloes were shot stone dead with one shot" Originally granted to A. P. de Nysschen on 24 April 1866 by the government of the South African Republic, is also sometimes known by the shortenings Twee buffels (Two buffaloes) and Twee Buffels Geskiet (Two buffaloes shot).

The name in Afrikaans means "the spring where two buffaloes were shot stone dead with one shot" 44 characters long, it is the longest place name in South Africa and possibly fourth longest in the world. The literal translation is "Twee buffels" = "Two buffaloes", "met een skoot" = "with one shot"; "morsdood" = "stone dead"; "geskiet" = "shot"; "fontein" = "spring (river source)" or "fountain". and Twee Buffels Geschiet (Two buffaloes shot). Such use is, however, not common, and such words are often separated using one or more hyphens if they become too long or unwieldy.

The farm was originally granted to A. P. de Nysschen on 24 April 1866 by the government of the South African Republic. It is referred to in a 1914 survey diagram as "Twee Buffels Geschiet" (Two buffaloes shot) and shown as having an area of 6,119 morgen and 429 square roods (5241.7 hectares). Records from British concentration camps during the Second Boer War records five residents of in 1901. In 1985, was the subject of an Afrikaans language song written by af and performed by Anton Goosen. Rautenbach had originally written the song in 1978, and it tells of the supposed hunter Gysie Grootlief who volunteers to shoot a giant buffalo with twelve foot wide horns terrorising the hamlet of Sannaspos.
