Knysna (/ˈnaɪznə/; 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.
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.
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.

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
