Mokopane

The Waterberg defines the setting of Mokopane — bushveld plains around the town rise toward this ancient mountain region, shaping a hot, semi-arid environment in northern Limpopo. Formerly known as Potgietersrus, Mokopane was renamed in 2003 in honour of King Makopane, a 19th-century Ndebele leader. The town is closely associated with nearby Makapans Valley, where cave sites have produced important archaeological and fossil evidence and form part of the UNESCO Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa. Farms, bushveld and mining activity mark the surrounding district. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Mokopane, the Waterberg and Limpopo.
