Blyde River

The Blyde River ((アフリカーンス語:Blyderivier), i.e. Glad River, or Motlatse River,〔(Olifants River now called Lepelle )〕 i.e. Permanent River, or Umdhlazi River), is a river in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces of South Africa. It has a northwards course in steep-sided valleys and ravines of the Mpumalanga Drakensberg, before it enters the lowveld region of the Limpopo province. It has its ultimate origins at around 2,000 m altitude in the Hartebeesvlakte conservation area, to the north of Long Tom Pass.
==Etymology==
The Blyde, meaning "glad", "joyous" or "happy"〔("Dictionary of Southern African Place Names" by RE Raper - HSRC )〕 in Cape Dutch, was thus named during a voortrekker expedition. This occurred in 1844 when Hendrik Potgieter and others returned safely from Delagoa Bay to the rest of their party of trekkers who had considered them dead. While still under this misapprehension they had named the river near their encampment, Treurrivier, or 'mourning river'. The name Motlatse is said to predate the name Blyde, and means 'a river that is always full' in the sePulana dialect of Northern Sotho.
