Origin of peak names

Reg Pearse did lots of research for the book Barrier of Spears, and this kind of info can be found in there. Some of the other older Berg books will also be useful for that, as well as all of the MCSA journals over the years. However, you will find very little about peaks outside of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park.

I stand under correction here, but I don't think KwaDuma has been officially named. The name comes from the nearby river that the peak is associated with. It is common practice to refer to unnamed peaks, passes and caves after other nearby named features (such as rivers). Sometimes these names are temporary place holders until a better name is established or discovered, and other times the name sticks. I have used this practice for the list of Khulus above 3300m, since many of these don't have official names yet. For most of the unnamed ones I have assigned the name of a nearby river. These names are temporary until more suitable names are established.
