Course
The Groot River originates at a point where the Kariega River and the Sout River meet, although they enter the Beervlei Dam as the Sout River. Beyond the dam, the river becomes the Groot River, running southeast. Near the town of Steytlerville it turns slightly southwards before heading eastward again, lastly bending southwards before it joins the Kouga River to form the Gamtoos at the confluence.[2]

gollark: Apparently I don't have the power to edit *my* roles, or anyone else's, it must be one of the weird roles providing that.
gollark: Actively punishing and imprisoning people for being in a bad situation they can't really leave easily is among the stupider things to do, yes.
gollark: I don't really like how the default seems to be "no, you cannot have the thing" in many people's minds.
