I just came across a US State Department Boundary study from 1972,
which give the following about there actually being a tripoint between
Namibia-RSA-Botswana - which we discussed here earlier, and about
which we never came to resolution, despite eye-witness accounts from
Namibian government officials. It says:

"The present Botswana–South Africa–South-West Africa tripoint at the
intersection of the 20th meridian and the Nossob was determined by a
British Order in Council of October 3, 1895."
