''English Usage in Southern Africa'', 9(1), 1-9.]: 'Slang' is the Afrikaans word for 'snake'; apie is 'little monkey'. But Slangapiesberg has no reference to either snake or monkey. We have a Folk etymological corruption of the Bantu 'Hlangampisi' plus Afrikaans 'berg', meaning 'mountain'. The initial Hl is a lateral spirant, thus easily interpreted as s.</ref>, 'n verkorting van KwaMandlangampisi, self 'n verkorting vir die "plek van Mandlaangangawempisi".

''South Africa's Environmental History: Cases & Comparisons.'' p. 181: "After many travels he [Ludonga] settled in a cave at Mhlongamvula, which is one of the peaks in the KwaMandlangampisi massif. The San hunter-gatherers who were in occupation retreated as they were heavily outnumbered. Ludonga fathered Mavuso, who in turn fathered Ludonga II, the father of a man who is a local legend, Shabalala, also known as Mandlangampisi - originally Mandla-angangawempisis, "he is who is as strong as the hyenas". The last person who defeated the Zulus was Mandlangampisi."</ref>

Kaapstad: Tafelberg, bl. 151-152: 'Sneesvlakte', sowel as die Engelse ekwivalent 'Sneeze Flats', is 'n vervorming van 'Sineesvlakte'. Hierdie streek is so genoem want dit is deur Hottentotte bewoon, wie se gelerige gelaatskleur aan dié van Sjinese (Sinese) herinner het.</ref>
