The Kasouga River is a blind river [1] located in between Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape Province, 900 km south of Pretoria. The Kasouga estuary has mudflats,[2] reeds and grasses, and occasionally the lagoon is breached and the river flows directly into the Indian Ocean.[3] Kasouga is also an old holiday villiage that means “place of the leopard” in the Khoe-Khoe language.[4]
