Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Voortrekker inligtingplaket: Kommandant Andries Hendrik Potgieter het in 1844 'n ekspedisie onderneem om die moontlikheid van 'n handelsroete na Delagoabaai (tans Maputo) te ondersoek. Die waens kon nie die steil klowe na die laeveld afgaan nie, en is agtergelaat. Potgieter is alleen met 'n groep ruiters verder. Hulle het so lank weggebly dat die mense by die waens gevrees het dat hulle omgekom het. Die riviertjie by die kamp is toe die Treurrivier genoem, en die terugtog is aangepak. Na 'n paar dae het Potgieter en sy ruiters die waens ingehaal. Daar was groot blydskap en die rivier langs die uitspanning het die naam Blyderivier gekry.
English: Voortrekker information board: Commandant Andries Hendrik Potgieter undertook a reconnaissance trip in 1844 to investigate the possibility of a trade route to Delagoa Bay (now Maputo). The wagons could not negotiate the steep passes and were left behind while Potgieter and a party of horsemen went on alone. They stayed away so long that the party left behind began to fear that they had perished. They called the river next to their camp the Treur River (River of Sadness) and started on the return journey. After a few days Potgieter and his party overtook them, and amid much rejoicing, the river beside which they were outspanned was called the Blyde River (River of Happiness).
