Is that Afrikaans? Hottentots are people similar to Bushmen. What's the 'oldatetentoo' part? Doesn't really sound like Afrikaans to me....:-?
Take care :)

Tweebuffelsmetennskootmorsdood
geskiedfontein:
The farm Twee Buffels (Two Buffaloes) is about 30km east of Lichtenburg in the North West province in South Africa.
According to farmers weekly there was a farmer in very late 1800s that killed the two buffaloes with a 303 "Lametford" ( don't know the correct spelling) rifle. He killed both of them with one shot and since that day that farm was named in Afrikaans Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdood
geskiedfontein.
Some maps in South Africa displayed the name a few years ago as the name made the Guinness Book of Records as the longest name for a farm. I don't know if this record still stands.
