Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Mariepskop (also Marepe or Maripekop), at 1,947 m above sea level, is one of the highest peaks in the northern Drakensberg, and the highest point of the Blyde River Canyon, South Africa. It is situated at the junction of three conservation areas, namely the Mariepskop Forest Reserve, Mariepskop State Forest, and the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve. The mountain is bordered by sheer cliff faces on several sides, and is composed of Proterozoic sedimentary rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup. It is named for the 19th century Pulana chief, Maripe Mashile, whose tribe used the mountain as a stronghold. Some infrastructure and roads were built in the 1950s to service a military radar station. Mariepskop is flanked by Tshwateng (1,628 m) at the opposite side of the Blyde River, and by Hebronberg (1,767 m) in the south.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Mariepskop, ook Marepe of Maripekop genoem, is met sy hoogte van 1 947 m bo seevlak een van die hoogste pieke in die noordelike Drakensberg, en die hoogste punt van die Blyderivierspoort, Suid-Afrika. Dit is geleë by die aansluiting van drie bewaringsgebiede, naamlik die Mariepskop-bosreservaat, Mariepskop-staatsbos, en die Blyderivierspoort-natuurreservaat. Die bergtop word aan verskillende kante deur loodregte kranse begrens, en bestaan uit Proterosoïese sedimentêre gesteentes van die Transvaalse supergroep. Die berg is vernoem na die 19de eeuse Poelana-hoofman, Maripe Mashile, wie se stam die berg eens as 'n vesting teen aanvalle gebruik het. Infrastruktuur en paaie is tydens die 1950's aangebring om 'n militêre radarstasie te bedien. Weerskante van Mariepskop is Tshwateng (1 628 m) oorkant die Blyderivier, en Hebronberg (1 767 m) aan die suidekant.
