Breedé, a river in Cape Colony, rises in the Warm-Bokkeveld, and flows chiefly in a south-east direction through the district of Zwellendam, entering the Indian Ocean at St Sebastian's Bay, about 60 miles NE. of Cape Agulhas, the most southerly point of Africa. It is navigable for vessels drawing not more than 10 feet of water to a distance of 40 miles, and drains a very fertile district.
