“Makhaleng river is a tributary of the Orange River. It rises in the mountains about 50 km east of Maseru and flows south-west to its confluence with the Kolola Pere north-east of Magalengbrug. Also encountered as Makaling and Magaleng, the name is said to be derived from Sotho lekhada, ‘aloe’; thus ‘at the aloes’. (SA Place names)” - Chris Smit, 2024/11/25
