Geographic location

Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality is situated on the North-eastern part of South Africa in the Limpopo Province.  It is one of the four local municipalities in the Mopani District.  The Municipality has a geographical area of 3 004.88 km² that constitutes 27% of the Mopani District. The Municipality serves as a convenient gateway to the Kruger National Park and the Transfrontier Park through the Mozambique Channel.

Resource potentials

The Municipality is renowned for its mining activities. Copper and phosphate ores are the most mined natural resources in the area. The downsizing of the mining sector in the area is evidence of depletion of these resources. The municipal area has an abundance of wildlife as a potential resource. Places along the greater Letaba River, next to Selwane, have the potential for agricultural use. For example, there are citrus farms at Waterbok, Masalal and Prieska with a high agricultural potential, but are currently not utilized.
