The town is 40 km from Harrismith, just off the N3.[1] Village some 35 km east-south-east of Warden and 40 km south-west of Memel. Afrikaans for 'spy hill', literally 'farlooker's hill', the name appears to have been taken over from Tafelkop, a hill 2,153 m high to the south-west of it.[2] Sitting on a hill on the Free State side of the border with KwaZulu-Natal, it is described as a tiny village with fewer than 20 residents in town, and a few hundred more living in surrounding villages.[3] It is known for having one of the lowest crime levels in South Africa.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Gigs you’ll dig to ring in New Year|url=http://www.iol.co.za/tonight/music/gigs-you-ll-dig-to-ring-in-new-year-1.1202223#.UjucYbyZ3Mg|publisher=IOL.co.za|accessdate=20 September 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Dictionary of Southern African Place Names (Public Domain)|url=https://archive.org/details/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames|publisher=Human Science Research Council|page=457}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Verkykerskop: Where Sheep may safely graze|url=http://mg.co.za/article/2013-09-20-00-verkykerskop-where-sheep-may-safely-graze|publisher=Mail & Guardian|accessdate=20 September 2013}} External links{{commons category}}
