Hectorspruit

Hectorspruit, officially Emjejane, is a small farming town situated between Kaapmuiden and Komatipoort on a southern tributary of the Crocodile River in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

The farms in the region produce sugarcane, subtropical fruit and vegetables.

The stream is named after a dog belonging to S de Kock, chief surveyor of the Pretoria - Delagoa Bay railway line.

The hamlet is named after a tributary of the Crocodile River, the Hectorspruit, which is said to take its name from a hunting dog that died there after being bitten by a tsetse fly.
