Kraaifontein (B 16)

Name: Kraaifontein in the Western Cape province of South Africa

In the late 1600's a farmer named Joosten was looking for a cattle farm & it is due to the crows that the farmer took a liking to the area & bought the farm.

Kraaifontein now is a town. Due to Cape Town's explosive growth north-eastward, the town has now been absorbed into the Cape Town Metropole and is now considered a suburb.

It is home to Eben Donges High School and Monument Park High School (not to be confused with Monument Park, situated in the Gauteng Province) and has three Primary Schools, Aristea Primary, Fanie Theron Primary and Simonsberg Primary.
