Helpmekaar is a village 26 km south-east of Dundee on the R33 road. Afrikaans for 'help each other', the name is derived from transport riders having had to assist each other in making a road over a nearby hill.{{#tag:ref |{{cite book|last=Raper|first=Peter E.|title=Dictionary of Southern African Place Names|url=https://archive.org/stream/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames/SaPlaceNames#page/n203/mode/2up|publisher=Internet Archive|accessdate=28 August 2013|page=203|year=1987}} |name=dosapn}}
