Swartkops River (Q34873068)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Swartkops River, also Zwartskop River, (Afrikaans: black hills) is a watercourse in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The source of the Swartkops is near Cockscombe Mountain, and it flows east into the Algoa Bay of the Indian Ocean in Bluewater Bay, just outside Gqeberha. Its two main tributaries are the northern Kwa-Zunga River and the southern Elands River. The river is also fed by Motherwell Canal, Markman Canal, and Chatty River, which are also sources of water pollution. The river's Groendal Dam was constructed in 1933. The Swartzkops watershed lies with the Uitenhage Artesian Basin. The river suffers from sewage pollution, litter, and algae blooms.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Die Swartkops is 'n rivier wat in die Groot-Winterhoekberge in die Oos-Kaap ontspring en deur Uitenhage vloei waar dit vir wolwassery gebruik word. Naby die mond is dit 'n gewilde oord vir seiljagvaarders en hengelaars. Die rivier mond in Algoabaai uit. Die N2-nasionale pad kruis die rivier by die monding met die brug wat in Junie 1962 geopen is. Daar is ook 'n nedersetting Swartkops aan die oostekant van die rivier digby die monding.
