Umsizi: Hi Jansenators

Due to no response after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center.

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Geocache Description:


The Jukskei begins in Ellis Park in Johannesburg. Its original spring was on the former Doornfontein farm, which measured at 18,000 liters per hour, but has since disappeared under subsequent urban development. Now the first surface expression of the Jukskei is in Bertrams at the intersection of Queen Street and Sports Avenue where it emerges from a storm drain. From there the river flows through Bezuidenhout Valley and is dammed in Bruma. It then meanders in a northerly direction through Bedfordview and Edenvale before flowing through Alexandra Township. It then turns east and flows through Modderfontein, Buccleuch, Leeuwkop Prison, Lonehill, Dainfern and Steyn City before joining the Crocodile River (Limpopo) outside Lanseria. (excerpt taken from Wikipedia)

The Jukskei River is joined by numerous streams along its course with its major tributaries being the Moderfontein Spruit, Braamfontein Spruit and Klein Jukskei River. The Jukskei River provides the largest amount of water, by discharge, into the Crocodile River (Limpopo) Basin.(excerpt taken from Wikipedia)

The view from this road is just too beautiful, especially right after heavy rains when the river fills up.

Please be careful when retrieving this cache as it is a residential area, and the cache is bordering on a persons property. Heavy stealth is required retrieving this cache. Also, be careful not to drop it, or you won't be able to retrieve it if it falls on the outside of the palisade fence.

While you're here, take a break from the hustle and bustle of Witkoppen Road and just enjoy the sounds of nature all around you.
