History and overview of the city on the fringes of Cape Town. ' "Twaalf Myl" served for some considerable time as the unofficial but romantic name for the little hamlet in the romantic setting of the Tygerberg on the Elsieskraal River. The twelfth milestone can today be seen in the circle at the crossing of Voortrekker Road and Durban Road. Its original position was slightly westward. It is a neat milestone with a triangular top, hewn out of blue rock, and displaying the number twelve in Roman figures. It marked the twelfth mile from Cape Town on the Maitland Road, as the Cape road was called by the middle of the 19th century. "Twaalfde Mylpaal" or "Twaalf Myl" served also as a name-plate, for the embryo village had no name at that time.'.
