Village some 35 km east-south-east of Warden and 40 km south-west of Memel. Afrikaans for 'spy hill', literally 'farlooker's hill', the name appears to have been taken over from Tafelkop, a hill 2,153 m high to the south-west of it.[2]
Sitting on a hill on the Free State side of the border with KwaZulu-Natal, it is described as a tiny village with fewer than 20 residents in town, and a few hundred more living in surrounding villages.[3] It is known for having one of the lowest crime levels in South Africa.[3]
