Nababeep
Geography and History
Nababeep is a small town in the Namakwa District Municipality in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Situated north of Springbok, Nababeep’s name combines two Nama words, naba, meaning ‘hump of an animal’ and bib, meaning ‘small spring’.
Mining in the Nababeep area began in the 1850s and, from 1876, ore was taken to Port Nolloth by train, for export. The mine closed during the copper slump of 1919, but reopened in 1937. It is home to the Okiep Copper Company and the region’s largest copper-mining town
