Sannieshof is a small farming town situated at the intersection of the N14 National Route and R375 Regional Route in the North West Province of South Africa.
The town started as a post office to serve the farms in the district and was named in honour of the first postmaster, John Voorendijk’s wife Sannie.
Sannieshof is located about 40.4 km north-west of Ottosdal and 40.9 km north-east of Delareyville. It is also close (20 km) to Baberspan which is a water bird sanctuary and a fishing mecca.
History
The name was bestowed by John Voorendijk in 1920 who was postmaster of Lichtenburg, in honour of his wife Sannie (née De Beer), whom he married in 1904.
In 1928, land was sold to form a village that was named Roosville after a local politician Tielman Roos. The name was disliked and the town regained its original name in 1952.
