João Infante
João Infante (fl. 15th century) was a Portuguese explorer of the African coast. He accompanied Bartolomeu Dias in his journey around the Cape of Good Hope in 1487/1488 by leading a second caravel, the São Pantaleão (named after Saint Pantaleon).
Some places in South Africa are or were named after him:
The Rio do Infante, now the Great Fish River, Eastern Cape
