Twee Rivieren

Twee Rivieren - not to be confused with the Langkloof town of "Twee Riviere", 180km to the east - is a small residential suburb in George, South Africa. It is located in the northern area of the city between Denneoord to the north and Bo-dorp to the south. "Twee Rivieren" is a Dutch name, meaning "Two Rivers". Its name is derived from its location, nestled between two branches of the Kat River.
