Theunissen (E 11)

Name: Theunissen

Theunissen - In the centre of the Free State, surrounded by rich agricultural land, lies the town of Theunissen. The Erfenis irrigation dam fed by the Vet River provides ample water for farming and good yellow fish and carp fishing. Two diamond mines in the district produce gem stones of fine quality. Theunissen was named after Colonel Helgard Theunissen who was the commandant of the Winburg Commando during the Anglo-Boer War. He founded the town and for many years served as its mayor.
