Blood River
Blood River ((アフリカーンス語:Bloedrivier); (ズールー語:Ncome)) is situated in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This river has its sources in the hills SE of Utrecht; leaving the highlands it is joined by two important tributaries that originate in the Schurveberg, after which it flows meandering through a sandy plain.〔(The Geology of Vryheid )〕 The Blood River is a tributary of the Buffalo River, itself a tributary of the Tugela River which it joins from the north-east.〔(Thukela WMA 7 )〕 This river is so named after the Battle of Blood River in which Zulu king Dingaan was defeated by Andries Pretorius' troops in 1838.〔(Tugela - 1911 Encyclopedia )〕 The Blood River Vlei, located about 20 km to the south-west of Vryheid, is one of the biggest inland wetlands in South Africa, and the wintering place of migratory birds such as ducks and geese.〔(KZN North - Working for Wetlands )〕 == See also ==
