MEGA SA 2012 – Which Team is It? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

DamhuisClan: The cache was a great idea at the time (2012) and loved making the puzzle. Now almost 8 year later a lot of the teams are now distant memories, and it time to lay this one to it's final rest.

Geocache Description:

MEGA South Africa 2012 – This cache has been placed for the duration of South Africa’s first Mega Event.  This cache will remain after the Mega to be enjoyed by all geocachers.  This cache has been placed with the kind permission of Voortrekker Monument Heritage Site.  Please take care of the surrounding environment – this is a Nature Reserve.

It has always intrigued me where cache names come from. Somehow I create little pictures in my mind. The very first picture I painted in my mind was "cache-fan". After many years of meeting other teams these little paintings grew in my mind's eye. It got to to a point where I decided I had enough to build a puzzle out of it and created the very first INEPT puzzle (GC3C18H).

I had some nice feedback from it, and decided to use the same concept as a cache at the MEGA event.... and here it is:GC3X9ZP Online puzzle

Some help:
1) The answer must be the EXACT team name!
2) Some are English, some are Afrikaans.
3) Some have associations.
4) Some are "sounds like".


For the people who were not at the MEGA and doing this cahce (years) afterwards... the link to the 2012 mega is: GC3B0EJ_mega-south-africa-2012
