Wolvengat
Wolvengat, also known as Viljoenshof, is a village in the southern Overberg region, in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is situated south of Elim and southwest of Bredasdorp. It was originally named ''Wolfgat'' or ''Wolvengat'' in reference to the brown hyena, known as ''strandwolf'' in Afrikaans. However, when the local post office was established the authorities named it ''Viljoenshof'' in honour of DJ Viljoen, the Dutch Reformed (NGK) minister of Bredasdorp from 1904 to 1934; this name was then extended to the village. The original name ''Wolvengat'' was officially restored in 1991. In the early 1900s the village had a school with 100 children, but by the early 21st century there was neither a church nor a school. The fertile soil, and the potential of using land for vineyards, explains the high property prices.〔 ==References==
