Sand River (Limpopo)
The Sand River or Polokwane River〔(Olifants River now called Lepelle )〕 ((アフリカーンス語:Sandrivier)) is a watercourse in Limpopo Province, South Africa, a right hand tributary of the Limpopo River. Its new name "Polokwane River" is homonymous with the name of the town of Polokwane, formerly Pietersburg, about upriver from its mouth. The Sand River flows by the western edge of this town.
==Course==
It has its source south of Mokopane and flows northwards across central Limpopo Province until it cuts across the Soutpansberg through a deep gorge, the Waterpoort. Then it meanders northwards across the Lowveld until it joins the right bank of the Limpopo east of Musina.〔(Major rivers and streams within the Limpopo River Basin )〕 Although considered a perennial stream it is often dry in the winter.
The veld in the Sand River basin has suffered much degradation, mainly due to overgrazing.
There are some wetland zones in the basin. These areas are an important ecosystem for certain rare or endangered plants, as well as frog and bird species. There are 18 mines in the sand River basin.〔(Sand Sub-basin )〕
