Wakkerstroom, ''(Awake Stream)'', is the second oldest town in Mpumalanga province in South Africa. Town on the KwaZulu-Natal border, 27 km east of Volksrust and 56 km south-east of Amersfoort. It was laid out on the farm Gryshoek, proclaimed in 1859, and administered by a village council from 1910. Originally named Marthinus-Wesselstroom, it became known as Wesselstroom and then Wakkerstroom, ‘awake stream’, ‘lively stream’, after the river, which also gave its name to the district, namely the Mzinyati.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.org/details/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames )〕 It was established in 1859 and its name is an Afrikaans translation of the Zulu name for the river that flows near the town, uThaka, ''(Awake)''.
