Koffiefontein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Koffiefontein is a small sheep farming town in the Free State Province of South Africa. The area was a coffee stop for many transport riders in the 19th century until one of the riders discovered a diamond, and a town grew rapidly. The diamond mine established by De Beers in the early 1900s was closed down in 2004 or 2005. The name means coffee fountain in Afrikaans.
