The origin of the name Doispane, courtesy F Van Wateren:

Doispane Road
In the olden days Doispane was a Ranger`s outpost halfway
between Matimba and Skukuza. A tribesman who returned
from working in the gold mines in Lydenburg used to stay
there. His name was Doispane, the way he pronounced the
nickname “Dustpan”, given to him while he was working in
the mines.
