“Laersdrif (a laager is laer in Afrikaans.) is a town on the Steelpoort River, 27 km south-west of Roossenekal and 72 km north-east of Middelburg . It was founded in 1907 on the farms Swartkoppies and De Lagersdrift, and proclaimed a township in July 1953. It takes its name from the latter farm, which in turn was named after a ford (Afrikaans drif, Dutch drift) at which a Boer commando laagered during the Mapoch War of 1882;” - Chris Smit, 2024/05/15
