Hi all,

And in Pretoria, opposite the UNISA campus, there is a hill called
Muckleneuk.

(Btw, Tswane is the name of the metropolitan council rather than the name of
the city. A current court case is charging the SABC, the public broadcaster,
for misrepresenting the truth in its news broadcasts.)

Thanks, Elsie.

Muckleneuk seems to be pure Scots: *muckle* 'large', *neuk* 1. 'nook', 2.
'projecting point of land'
