Knysna

Knysna (/ˈnznə/; probably from a Khoikhoi word meaning "ferns") is a town with 51,078 inhabitants in the Western Cape Province of South Africa and is part of the Garden Route. It lies 34 degrees south of the equator, and is 72 kilometres east from the town of George on the N2 highway, and 25 kilometres west of Plettenberg Bay on the same road.

History

Little is known about the indigenous inhabitants of Knysna, the Khoikhoi. The area east of present-day George was separated by high mountains and deep gorges, making it virtually inaccessible to European travelers.

European settlement

Nevertheless, the first Europeans arrived in the area in 1760, and the farm Melkhoutkraal (literally translating from Afrikaans as 'milk wood kraal’) was established on the eastern shore of the Knysna Lagoon. Stephanus Terblans, the first European farmer to settle in the area, was given a loan permit to farm here in 1770.

Upon moving to Knysna George Rex, a British-born entrepreneur credited as being the founder of Knysna, acquired the loan rights to Melkhoutkraal in 1804 and later, in 1816, to the farm Welbedacht, which he renamed Eastford. He gave 80 acres of Eastford to the Colonial Government, on which the Royal Navy established the township of Melville. Rex’s properties were sold when he died in 1839.

    Bangun

    by: A.c.a.b

    Cuba renungkan hari ke hari
    MALAPETAKA DI SANA SINI
    bENCANA DATANG DAN JUGA PERGI
    Tapi pastikan kembali lagi
    Kita masih di awang awangan
    Berkhayal dengan kemewahan
    hasil usaha peninggalan
    Mereka yang telah kita lupakan
    Entah apa yang akan terjadi
    Bila bencana melanda nanti
    Tiada siapa yang peduli
    Dalam hidup kita hari ini
    Jangan nanti di suatu hari
    Menyalahkan sesama sendiri
    Bila merdeka tiada erti
    Sesalan tiada berguna lagi...
    Jangan mudah engkau berkata
    Dunia hanya sementara
    Untuk kau mundur dan leka
    buat selama-lamanya
    Jangan nanti di suatu hari
    Menyesali apa yang terjadi
    Kerana engkau masih bermimipi
    Di siang hari...
    Bangun..dari tidur
