Nature The Mokolo River This river and its tributaries rise in the western part of the Waterberg (between 1200 and 1600 metres above mean sea level). It originates in a flattish, open area with numerous koppies and flows through a steep gorge emerging above the town of Vaalwater. Here the river flows through a relatively flat area until it enters the Mokolo Dam. From there, it flows through another gorge before entering the Limpopo Plain, near the junction with the Rietspruit. From this point, the Mokolo River flows through flat sandy areas until it reaches the Limpopo River. Fish species found in the Mokolo include: African mottled eel (Anguilla bengalensis labiata) Common mountain catfish (Amphilius uranoscopus) Shortspine suckermouth (Chiloglanis pretoriae) Small barbs (Barbus spp.) Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) Shortfin barb (Enteromius brevipinnis) Orangefin barb (Enteromius eutaenia) Shortspine suckermouth (Chiloglanis pretoriae) Lhe longfin eel (Anguilla mossambica) Redeye labeo (Labeo cylindricus) and Largescale yellowfish (Labeobarbus marequensis) Vegetation The area is dominated by mixed bushveld and sour bushveld (sourveld). In the Limpopo Plain, arid sweet bushveld occurs while pockets of north-eastern mountain sourveld occur in higher lying areas to the south of the catchment.
