Kaukausib-
In early days, on the march from Lüderitzbucht to Aus oxen were watered at the Kaukausib-well. The Germans write:
... und bald darauf war die Wasserstelle Kaukausib erfüllt von Lärm und Staub, von Gestampf und Ochsengebrüll.
— Meno Holst, Lüderitz erkämpft Südwest S.118 (1941)
In English it means:
... and soon the watering place Kaukausib was filled with noise and dust, with stamping and oxen bellowing.
— Meno Holst, Lüderitz erkämpft Südwest S.118 (1941)
The book Diamonds in the Desert[3] describes, how August Stauch etstablished a company in the beginning of the 20th century called Kaukausibtal Diamantengesellschaft.
