Zeekoegat was a farm south-east of Graaf-Reinet in the eastern Cape. Graaf-Reinet was a town, used by the British, as a base from which they started out in their searches for the various Boer Commandos operating in the area.
On 6 April 1901 Commandant Scheepers captured 75 British soldiers who were on patrol in the area, after a brief skirmish.
