Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Skeerpoort is a village 24 km south of Brits and 32 km northeast of Hekpoort, about 7 km southwest of the Hartebeespoort Dam, in eastern North West province, South Africa. The small and discontinuous village is set among orchards and agricultural lands.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Skeerpoort is 'n klein nedersetting in Noordwes, Suid-Afrika. Die naam sou te danke wees aan Hendrik Potgieter se kommando wat een Sondag hier afgesaal het, of dié van Casper Kruger wat seep en skeermesse gekoop het om hul voor te berei vir 'n besoek aan Pretoria. Reeds vanaf die laat-19de eeu het die omgewing uit 'n florerende boerderygemeenskap bestaan.
