The Steelpoort River flows through the Sekhukhune district of Limpopo Province, South Africa, draining a rugged landscape characterized by the mineral-rich geology of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. The river is perhaps best known as the site of the De Hoop Dam, a massive impoundment completed and officially opened in March 2014. Built at a cost of approximately R3 billion, the De Hoop Dam ranks as the 13th largest dam in South Africa and one of the largest constructed in the country in the past two decades. The dam wall stretches roughly 1,015 metres in length and stands 81 metres high, impounding up to 347 million cubic metres of water. This significant infrastructure creates a substantial reservoir that has drawn attention from anglers across Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces.
