The small seaside village of Haga Haga is located on the Eastern Cape Wild Coast of South Africa, 60 km east of East London.[1] Farmers from the hinterland started the village in the early 1920s, when they acquired farms here for winter grazing. They would move their livestock and possessions by ox wagon down to the coast for 3 to 4 months each year. Haga Haga got its name from the Xhosa "Haka Haka", which means to "hook on", because to cross the beach they would have to hook one team of oxen to another.[2]
