Schweizer-Reneke, sometimes referred to as “Schweizer” is a town of approximately 33,000 people in the North West Province of South Africa. It is the administrative centre of Mamusa Local Municipality.
Schweizer-Reneke was formerly part of the old Transvaal province. Founded on October 1, 1888, the town is situated on the banks of the Harts River, with six regional roads exiting the town. The town is named after Captain C.A. Schweizer and Field Cornet C.N. Reneke. Both men distinguished themselves and were among the ten soldiers killed while storming the stronghold of the Khoi Koi Koranna Khoe and their chief David Massouw on the nearby Mamusa Hill on December 2, 1885 during an action to put an end to cattle rustling in the area. The remains of the stone fortifications of Chief David Massouw can still be seen on Mamusa Hill.
