Malgas (or Malagas[2]) is a settlement on the right (southwest) bank of the Breede River in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. It is situated 25 kilometres north-west of the Breede River mouth at Witsand, and 30 kilometres south-east of Swellendam.
"Malgas" is the Afrikaans for gannet. The word "malgas" is probably an adaptation of the Template:Langx, referring to the Cape gannet (Morus capensis) with its black-tipped wings.[3] According to the 2011 census, Malgas has a population of 44 people in 20 households.[1]
Malgas Pont
It is well known for the "pont", a man-hauled pontoon cable ferry across the Breede River, which is the last of its type in South Africa.[4] The man-hauled ferry has been replaced by a motor driven ferry. The new ferry consists of a series of plastic floats contained within a yellow steel framework structure. Propulsion is provided by a single diesel engine which provides power for 2 hydraulic thrusters.
