“'The origin of the name is curiously obscure. So many tribal fragments, each speaking a different language, live in the area that is difficult to discover which of them originated the name. The most convincing explanation given by the tribespeople is that their neighbours referred to them as 'ba Tsanene' (People who live in small villages) and from this Eoropeans picked up the name 'Tzaneen'. (From Tzaneen and the Valley of the Letaba River byT.V. Bulpin)” - Chris Smit, 2024/08/14
