Hamlet some 30 km west of Komatipoort and 80 km north-east of Pigg’s Peak. 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. The hamlet was officially renamed in 2005 to Emjejane (SiSwati) after late Chief Mjejane Ngomane.Tracks4Africa Padkos - Hectorspruit
