Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this essay an attempt has made to establish "the relationship between surface
evolution of landforms, regional and local geological structure, and the localisation of stream
channels. The various remnants of stream sculpture, surfaces were mapped and correlated, and
the nature of the deposits covering them were studied with the view to establish the climatic
conditions which obtained during various epochs of the Tertiary Period. It was also attempted
to establish the effects of epeirogenesis on stream rejuvenation in the area concerned and to
present a reconstruction of the development of the Gouritz River System.
