Talk:Krokodilpoort

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

google did not find anything searching for Krokodilpost. Does this place really exist? -- JeLuF

I didn't find any "Krokodilpost" either, even searching with South African search engines. I did find several place names starting with "krokodil-" (see [1]). My Times atlas shows the Krokodil to be a river in Transvaal. Maybe "Krokodilpost" is a typo? Guy 20:07 Oct 19, 2002 (UTC)

My girlfriend is a member of a society for people interested about gesneriads and the place was mentioned in their member magazine. I have tried to find out more about it, but without any luck. It's very possible it's too small, perhaps just an outpost? // Liftarn

With [2] I found it have a Krokodilpoort (Crocodile Gorge), a railway station, farming buildings, and also a pass. Nearby is also a mountain called Krokodilpoortsberge. Everything fits, only if it is big enough to be called a town I am not sure. andy 18:40, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I personally think it was most likely a typo - Krokodilpoort vs. Krokodilpost... hmm... If no search engines mention it, and it's in South Africa, and no maps anywhere mention it, then... Node

I looked at the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) database, and there's no Krokodilpost. Various other "Krokodil*" stuff in south africa (I don't know which of it is in the tranvaal) but no Krokodilpost. None of the krokodil's are big enough to appear on world-gazetteer (which seems to include any town larger than roughly 5000 people). So, since a "krokodilpost" certainly doesn't exist, and there is no content in this article, it should be removed, I think. Nyh 08:41, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

If you translate Krokodilpost into swedish, it is "Crocodile mail", so it might have been some stupid swedish guy that heard wrong, and then the name was "invented".

There is no South African postal code for Krokodilpost either, and I cant find it on the company's (courier company) system either. -- Jesse 2005-12-21
