Tectonic evolution of the Waldau Ridge structure and the Okahandja Lineament in part of the Central Damara Orogen, west of Okahandja, South West Africa by Blaine, John Lindley

“….· " Tectonic evolution of the Waldau Ridge structure and the OkahCl.ndja Lineament is interpreted in terms of gravity-initiated deformatiort due to vertical· uplift of the Abbabis Swell relative to the Khomas Trough along the Okahandja Lineament. Compressive forces from the south brought about deformation of the rocks south of the northern margin of the Okahandja Lineament and the development of a zone of "flattening·strain" and. possible further vertical movement along this zone which developed the features as seen today. …”
