Knysna ( /ˈnaɪznə/; probably from a Khoikhoi word meaning "ferns") is a town with 76,431 inhabitants in the Western Cape Province of South Africa and is part of the Garden Route. It lies 34 degrees south of the equator, and is 72 kilometres east from the town of George on the N2 highway, and 25 kilometres west of Plettenberg Bay on the same road.
A hamlet, Melville, appeared on the lakeshore in 1825, and was followed by another, Newhaven, in 1846. Knysna town, a 1882 amalgamation of these hamlets, was named after the Knysna River.
Knysna's port could provide shelter for up to 50 ships, and the region's abundant timber was exported from this bay as early as 1787. Landowner George Rex, who landed at the Cape in 1796, played a significant role in the town's early development and is considered the town's founder. Being a difficult port to enter, a harbour pilot was employed to assist large vessels. One of the better-known pilots was John Benn, originally a shipwright from Mossel Bay, appointed as pilot in 1868 and whose name is borne by a double-deck pleasure cruiser currently operating as a tourist attraction on the Knysna lagoon. The port was officially closed in 1954.

Cuba renungkan hari ke hari
MALAPETAKA DI SANA SINI
bENCANA DATANG DAN JUGA PERGI
Tapi pastikan kembali lagi
Kita masih di awang awangan
Berkhayal dengan kemewahan
hasil usaha peninggalan
Mereka yang telah kita lupakan
Entah apa yang akan terjadi
Bila bencana melanda nanti
Tiada siapa yang peduli
Dalam hidup kita hari ini
Jangan nanti di suatu hari
Menyalahkan sesama sendiri
Bila merdeka tiada erti
Sesalan tiada berguna lagi...
Jangan mudah engkau berkata
Dunia hanya sementara
Untuk kau mundur dan leka
buat selama-lamanya
Jangan nanti di suatu hari
Menyesali apa yang terjadi
Kerana engkau masih bermimipi
Di siang hari...
Bangun..dari tidur
