This Report is intended to provide feedback regarding the fieldwork trip that I undertook in Limpopo Province from 5th-12th August 2016). The fieldwork was done in Bela Bela, Groblersdal, Molemole, and Tzaneen areas. This is a continuation of a project funded by the NRF Annual Grant for Y-rated Researchers in South Africa. The project in nearing completion and a substantial amount of data has already been gathered for analysis and write-up. It is anticipated that some of the results from this study will be presented at the Annual WATERNET Symposium in Gaborone, October 2016.
