Groblersdal is a farming town situated 32 km North of the 178 million m³ Loskop Dam in the Sekhukhune District of Limpopo.

The town is South Africa's second largest irrigation settlement. The main crops in this man-made floodplain are cotton, tobacco, citrus fruit, table grapes, maize, wheat, vegetables, sunflower seeds, peanuts, lucerne and peaches.

Groblersdal was laid out on the farm "Klipbank" taking advantage of the Loskop Dam, and named after the original owner WJ Grobler.

Groblersdal is well known for its rather colourful Ndebele culture. The Ndebele people are recognised for their vibrant house painting, gorgeous bead work and crafts. All these works are on display at numerous cultural villages in the region. Another inherent characteristic of the Cultural Heartland is the Boer War route throughout the region. This route is ideal for history lovers.

Groblersdal History

Ruins of a settlement dating 1400 are found in the area while Groblersdal itself was founded by Dutch Reformed Church Reverend Frans Cachet who was converted to Christianity in the town of Groblersdal in the Netherlands. The town was reduced to a single standing home by the British during the Second Boer War.
