On Newlands, just off Kildare Rd, you may be intrigued to see a steady flow of cars pulling into and out of a cul-de-sac. A clue lies in the road’s name: Spring Way. At the end of the cul-de-sac flows fresh water that has been piped straight from a spring off of Table Mountain.
The Khoe-San called the river flowing off Table Mountain 'Camissa', meaning ‘sweet water’ – something you can judge for yourself as you fill up your water bottle.
